OK, I confess. I just copied and pasted this entry from my other blog into this blog but heck I can't improve on it anyway! And it IS a part of the day to day life of being an artist :-)
I am very focused on paying my bills while creating the best art for my clients that I can,but this is a branch that is another creative path that I walk...the blog IS new...but it's still the same old me sharing all the aspects of an artist's life! Visit me as well at the link below!

How can you not be inspired by flowers? Your garden or a friend's?
The Queen Anne's lace is blooming everywhere now. The warm winter meant
it all came about two weeks early. In NC they bloom wild alongside what
we call "Tiger Lilies" Somehow "ditch lilies" doesn't do it for me! I
let a few grow randomly in my garden and love that decision!
Both types of flowers are a fond remembrance of mine of my sister and I
riding our horses down the roads and seeing these same types of
wildflowers growing alongside the road in upstate New York!
So a combination of using leaves (yanked from my grass) as a stencil,
lace, paint, spray ink, markers and my trusty gel medium, transposed my
vision into a fun 9 x 11 Art Journal page of a few sentences and all
things Queen Anne's Lace!
It's easy to paint the flower...just blop dabs of white paint in the general shape of the head of the flower!
