Weeds or Wildflowers?




It was a beautiful day in Northern Michigan and I just had to journal outside. We have been allowing the natural wildflowers to bloom, or should I say weeds? They look a lot like weeds because they are scattered all over. They are starting to go to seed. I knew I didn't have much time before they would be gone. I wanted to record them in my journal so I could compare them to next years crop. We have more each year.

    These are so beautiful! Oh my goodness you are inspiring me to go to my garden and do some sketching. It is so hot here and the mosquitoes are flying rampant though.
    I am looking forward to seeing more of your work

  2. What a lovely sketch! I would call them wildflowers, since we have a lot of them too - but my mother calls them weeds. You know that quote about a weed just being an unloved flower or something like that?

    How are you enjoying Laure's class?

  3. I think these are wildflowers...I especially like the (wild) bright purple Asters that are blooming (downstate) right now. Love your style of watercolor.
    So glad I did the Bookbinding too! Wish I lived closer...
