Day 9

Help, I don't know the name of this plant that I photographed at the Nicholas Conservatory. I was attracted to the contrast in colors and the wonderful pinks mixed with the greens and blues.

At the Nicholas Conservatory

Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper

11"x 14"

$129

 

I worked on this while I was at the Art Fair on the Square show at Lake Forest. The temperature was in the 90s. It was just terribly hot. But people came out anyway. All in all, it was a great show.

Thanks to my daughter, Samantha for all the help she is ALL THE TIME. 

I wouldn't be able to do all that I do with out her.

Day 16, Alcohol Ink and Pen, Honeysuckle

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.

Painting with alcohol ink is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you'll get.

Honeysuckle

Alcohol Ink and Pen

8" x 12"

$85

But the one thing you can count on with alcohol inks are bright, vibrant colors. I love the way the colors mix and make patterns. This is our honeysuckle bought in a box from Walmart 15 years ago. I never thought it would survive but it did more than that. It thrived, and is a favorite of many hummingbirds in the summer.
