A couple of years ago, to start stretching my painting muscles, I decided to paint a series–all of the various “Flowers of the Month” (and there are a couple of different lists, too :)).
Now that I’m back from my hiatus from painting, I’ve started it up again where I left off. Here’s a couple of calendulas, October’s FOM. (It was really difficult to find a good reference photo, so these are actually from an on-line “colouring book” that I found of all the flowers of the month.
Ink and wash in a Stillman & Birn Beta sketchbook. I do really love that
surface for this kinda stuff.
(But I think I need to start taking pictures with my “real” digicam instead of my cellphone :)).

See my LinkedIn profile or follow me on Twitter: @TheWizardGuyIt’s a lovely painting of calendulas but I do think the photo lets you down!:( ……. is the work on white paper? – if so, photo it during good daylight for a better contrast!:)
