Saturday and Wildflowers!

Ahhh... a Saturday at home! Today, I am painting wildflowers with watercolors and Parallel pens. Coreopsis are all over the roadsides here.

This project is changing as it goes along. My intention was to bind each painting into a lotus-form book, but I am having trouble making myself fold them. I may choose a different book form that doesn't require a fold through the flowers.

Also, I was planning to add calligraphy all over the background, but I am finding that I love the open white space to the side. I have always appreciated the use of negative space in Eastern art.


I will post a picture of the finished project when it is done. I guess what it looks like will be a surprise-- to all of us!
