Sunday Sketches: Flowers!


This week I was inspired by this post over at Alisa Burke's blog.  (Be sure to watch the video... so, so great.)


I was also inspired by a beautiful bouquet I received.  I love flowers but I'm notoriously bad at keeping them alive.  One way to keep flowers forever?  Draw them!


Gerbera daisies are my favorite!  What's yours?

Please be sure to stop by Sophia's blog to see what's inspiring my friends this week.


And don't forget to mark your calendar...


 
Paint Party Friday starts on March 18th!

    Hi, I have had company and a hard time visiting blogs this past week. I love your flowers especially the snap dragons. I need to go check out about the Paint party.

    This is just beautiful...very summery, like the words too... I love daisies and sweetpeas and old fashioned roses but then depending on the season it could be anything... just love flowers...

    Ooh more lovely flowers! I was just saying on Marlene's blog how lovely they make me feel - and that they are beginning to sprout in gardens and hedgerows too :)

    Lovely drawing

    We are getting lots of flowers this week and that means Spring is near! Lovely job on these Kristin! My favorite cut flower is the carnation as they smell divine and last forever. I love peonies too when I can get them and plan on planting a few in my garden this spring.

    Smiles and hope you are having a great sunday!

    The grace found in a flower petal....so fragile and yet inspiring ...waiting for the artist to make a sacred mark. Beautiful marks from a beautiful heart. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

    Kristin, I am finally getting a bit caught up and this post blew me away with its synchronicity! That video really influenced my sketchbook this week in Mexico and even some of our colours match!

    LOL!

    Is PPF responsible for this thinking alike???

    Looking forward to playing and partying next Friday!
