Hibiscus

I finished my Botanical Illustration class.  For details on the class, check here.

This is my final piece.  I am totally amazed at what I did in this class. I didn’t think I could really draw much of a flower, let alone, have it look realistic.  But I did.

I am so glad I challenged myself creatively and went out on a limb to see what I’m capable of doing.

The past several months, I have done landscapes, pastel sunsets and flowers.  It has been an interesting journey.  I want to continue to explore painting like this.

But for now, I’m going to go back to abstract art.  That where I am comfortable.  I have so much more to learn in that area.  I’m excited to see what happens now that I’ve taken a side trip from abstract.
