Dried Lotus Pod

12x9 ink on paper using Elegant Writer calligraphy pen on 140 lb cold press Canson done week before last, using one of my real dried pods in a fall wreath. I used very small amounts of watercolor. Mostly just a wet brush to the edge of ink line is all that is needed; the many colors coming from the ink are remarkable activated. When dry, the ink is permanent. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

This is beautiful. Almost an abstract feel.

Woven Flowers of Passion

15x22 work is actually two identically painted scenes of pink roses in front of a house. The original was ho-hum boring so a few years late...
