Beautiful day to have my studio door open to listen to birdsong.
I started with a couple of pen and ink drawings from picked wildflowers.
Next I added a watercolor wash with yellows and blues around the flowers. Negative painting.

Art Prescription: The scent of gardenias is unmatched. Their sweet perfume will follow you around the garden.
I did a simple pen and ink sketch on blue card stock…. just the basics, soothing.
