Wildflower Unknown.

Anybody know the name of this crazy wildflower? It's about the size of a quarter with hundreds of tiny multicolored flowers, maybe a quarter inch in diameter, that make up the one. I remember the first time I ever saw one. I was probably three or four and thought I had discovered something truly fabulous. What's the name?

Dreaming of purple iris'

Got a box of purple iris tumors from Laurie, which came from Mom. Got a lot of work ahead of me! Not to mention the other box of spider lilies. Guess I better get after it!

Jennifer


Ipad sketch using Sketchpad. (I think) Went to an art seminar with Becky "Zora" Bergeron and got my first taste of sketching on an IPad. I've been wanting an IPad for some time now, specifically for this purpose. It was fun. This is the wonderful person demonstrating Ipad usage. Great weekend!

Pear. Yum.

Sketch from sketchbook. You know. I'm having the hardest time translating from my sketchbook to the canvas. I REALLY like the spontaneaity of my sketches. Even the mistakes and notes. Something sometimes just gets lost in translation. Change in medium? Loss of spontaneity because it is a final product? I may have to put a time limit on myself for the paintings to help capture spontanaeity. I'll send "pear painting" tomorrow. Though... I may have to go mess it up.

Cock-a-doodle-doo. Sketchbook sketch.

This fellow roams around the neighborhood acting as a sporatic alarm clock. I really moved by the wils chickens of new orleans.

A lot of words.
