11x9 alcohol inks on white 3/18" foamcore board done this evening as a quickie since studio time was short today. Only four colors of ink was used along with canned air to force ink to spread upwards and in streaks. Background is left white of the board and is not enhanced. Tulip stem is made with drops of ink on tip of a wooden chopstick to control it; I used two greens, Juniper and Lime. Flower bottom edges were smoothed using cotton swab tip dipped in 91% alcohol.

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.
