a painting and a poem

i gift my brush painting teacher an amaryllis each

year. this year, i had chosen one that was a deep

rich crimson. this is my attempt at its portrait. =)

i used the same one and a half shuen paper i had

used for blobby cat with quasi-disastrous results.

the flower blobbed out more than i wanted in much

of the petal area, so it's an imperfect painting (in my

critical mind). but i still quite like it.

my art show just ended today. i sold quite a few
cards as well as a hummingbird painting...
