We finally had our first frost here in North Carolina and it was heart breaking to see how fast my Japanese Maple dropped its’ leaves! And all of the flowers except my camellias are done for the year. Thank goodness for camellias! They’ll get me through until the spring along with a strong drive to draw flowers until the real ones return. I think that’s why there is so much floral art out there- we artists long for the wild colors, shapes and textures. So get ready- I might be producing excessive amounts of floral illustrations and patterns over the next few months. Here’s the first of my “because my flowers are gone I will just draw them until they come back” illustrations. I’ve made it available as a set of note cards (there’s also a separate listing for an individual card). Coincidentally, they go nicely with my unicorn pin!
