As promised, some sketches of flowers that are still on the lifecycle upswing. These are from my parents’ garden – the last of the summer color.
Clockwise from top left: Dahlia, Black-eyed Susan, Daylily, Geranium, and Nasturtium. Plus a tiny unidentified flower in the lower right.
Impressive variety for late September, but then, my parents have a very impressive garden. I’m a grateful beneficiary of their dedication to the garden and of their encyclopedic knowledge of plants, and I’m pretty sure they get credit for growing all the flowers that appear in my paintings across this site.
Campanula flowers, at various life stages. Fun fact: campanula is Latin for “little bell” (at least, so says Wikipedia).
