Orchid Panel II - HOW TO (updating...)
The Shack, Star Island
Pell house "The Shack" on Star Island (Isle of Shoals) pen & ink on 20" x 20" paper. Watercolor comes next. Loads of technical mistakes on this (some of which I frustratingly can't not-see whenever I look at it) but just as much learning from those errors to apply to another one. "Hang in there, little kitty!" More from Star Island.

Big Flowerball Bee Inkening and Initial Watercolor
Sketchbook watercoloring
I got to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday and while there wasn't that much in bloom - there was still some cool stuff to see (and smell). Either this (below) wasn't labeled correctly or I wasn't aligning the label near the correct plant, but this Caricature plant (Graptophyllum pictum) was delicious.
