Two Parrots

Was working on this over the weekend and was really happy with how it turned out- submitting it for a group art show themed  around the color "Green"- planning on mounting it (ink/colored pencil on paper) on a wood panel and varnishing it (thinking of perhaps lightly staining the paper so it's not pristine white, but not 100% sure yet)

Composition and Color Study

Got a chance to play with some shapes yesterday and built this weird little flower. Amanda and I have a small amount of flowers around our townhome, some planted by the association and some that are ours in pots. We've been spending a lot of time tending them recently, removing dead blooms, weeding and pruning the herbs. The biggest surprise this year has been how well our herbs have done. I really should have had more uses for thai basil in mind before I planted it, the thing is monstrous.

Earlier in the week I went to the Farmer's Market by the University and picked up a bouquet of wildflowers for Amanda and delivered them to her during my lunch hour. (Because I'm smooth like that.) I've had flowers on my brain this week, so it's really no surprise I drew this.

i would prefer you choose the flower

Just a small doodle.
