Red Riot Geraniums

9x9.5 alcohol inks on white freezer/deli paper begun yesterday and finished today.  All I did yesterday was to flood the center with Willow and add blending solution.  Today I used two reds:  Poppyfield and Santa Fe to make shapes indicative of geranium blooms.  Somehow the red made it down to front center leaf but I do like it.  Bloom on the right had more blending solution added and with canned air it now looks variegated with red and white.  No reference or pencil used.
