Lovely Lotus Pod

7x5 watercolor and ink line (Micron 01 pen) on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done over the weekend as an ongoing series of plants and flowers in ink surrounded by an abstract colored background.  I really like the lotus seed pod with its many interesting holes and tall grandeur.

Red Tulip Tree

9x12 watercolor vignette on 140 lb cold press Canson paper done this weekend.  Also known as saucer magnolias, the tulip tree mimics the flowering bulbs.  I've put ghost images behind the red blooms of other flowers in light washes using pale opaques such as Peachy Keen, Apricot, and Coastal Fog by American Journey paints.
