Inner Beauty ~ alcohol ink floral

18x10 alcohol inks on paper done yesterday after starting it the day before using only two warm colors of Senorita Magenta and Sunbright Yellow inks (Pinata).  Stem was put in with a wooden chopstick, dropping Lime Green and Juniper to its tip then the tip to the paper.  The abstract flower has an inner beauty as the viewer can see into it practically with its transparency.  This could be a parrot tulip or some other bloom.
