A Bouquet for the Ides of March

As the N.E. continues to get slammed with winter, the South simply shivers.   

So I'm adding some sketches of flowers and plants to my gallery today. Some of these are pen only, some with graphite and some a mixture of media. A lot of experimentation going on due to the difficulty of capturing the soft blend of foliage with what may be considered unforgiving harshness of ink. Look carefully at these and you'll see the problem for the artist.

The image attached to this blog is of a Iris refugee, immigrated to our garden in Georgia from Ohio, and discovered after a spring shower, raindrops still shimmering on the blossoms.
