The days have been cold and dark so yesterday I bought some hyacinths and daffodils. I like to watch them change from hour to hour as they open and their color alters. I spent some time this afternoon doing a few sketches. I plan on doing more when they fully open. I have been influenced by many botanical artists. Most recently by
Ann Swan author of
Botanical Portraits in Colored Pencil.
I also enjoy drawing vegetables and fruits and exploring their various textures. Painter
Liz Floyd is a master at capturing such texture. I own two of her paintings and go to them for inspiration.
