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!

  13. 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!

  25. 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!
