Passion Flower

9x12 inks on paper (140 lb Canson) done this afternoon.  I started with acrylic inks then used 2-3 colored India inks since only got the primaries.  Probably I have thousands of floral photos and will not live long enough to paint them all.  So this summer that begins Sunday I'll try to do more from those.  This is a macro view of purple and white passion flower, brush only, and it looks quite an abstraction.  The top white petal was inadvertently painted over so I used white India ink and did a calligraphic line there.
