A whimsical flower inspired by Coreopsis verticillata

I never have time to draw or paint, but I made a commitment to a drawing a day when my studio here in Quebec was finished a couple of weeks ago.

Having an art studio space is magic, indeed.  I figured I needed to honor the work that our friend Jean put into it;  so, a drawing a day.

This evening is rainy and we were out through late afternoon, so I did a pencil drawing of a pewter container instead of a watercolor pencil version.

Yesterday, I did this flower inspired by Coreopsis verticillata in the bed in front of the antique shed. It was my Saturday afternoon drawing, before going to a garden party at friends.

 

Here's the pewter pitcher.

Hmm, quick iPhone photos are about like tricking myself into doing drawings!
