A little blast from the past- the DISTANT past!

In light of my recent decision to play with my watercolours again, but to change to a more relaxed style, I thought I'd show you a few of my Botanicals done on our summer travels. I drew from life , lightly with pencil, inked with India Ink and a Crow Quill Mapping pen, and then painted. They were generally done in a day because next day, we were somewhere else.

  2. Hi !
    I absolutely adore your botanicals ... wow !! So much talent !
    Thanks for your last note ... you spurred me forward and I think I am back into my blog ... yahoo !!
    ps. I happen to like the new look of your blog and I'm sure you'll get used to it ... you may get a similar look back as it is fairly easy to 're-do' colours/fonts/styles/etc.
    Wonderful work going on !
