Inauguration Blossoms ~ day 20 of 30 paintings in 30 days challenge

9x10.25 inks on paper created by placing large drops of ink, covering and blotting then outlining in ink over an abstract background; this work is for day 20 of Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days annual challenge.  Ten days to go! These happy blossoms take center stage just as our new president did on inauguration day today, a salute to freedom and our nation.

Heartfelt Geraniums-reworked mixed media floral

 9x10 mixed media (inks, colored pencils, gouache) done today in 1 hour approximately from existing painting titled Primary Colors Heart from Feb. 2013 (inks, see below).  I've painted these same red geraniums before and did another watercolor yesterday of hanging baskets, but changed the flowers to a variegated salmon.  The photo was taken of my friend Barbara's plant on her sun porch a few years ago.  Tonight this was featured in WetCanvas! Weekend Drawing Event in the All Media Arts Forum where I am the host.

You can see where I've left parts of it showing in the new reworked image which I like a whole lot better
