Art wise...stressing out a bit as usual. The time has come for me to decide upon my final composition for my Botanical Illustration course. The problem is I have to decide this week before the flowers die on my cyclamen persicum. And I am meant to paint the flowers now before anything else and what if I put them in the wrong spot and then trying to paint in the leaves and seed pods after looks a bit knaff? I guess I just have to go for it. My Aunty, Lynda Strahan, sent me a CD of some of her Australian botanical drawings which are pretty delightful. She says she is not professionally trained in botanical illustration so I can show her how the 'real' thing is done once I finish my course but seriously, if I could come up with anything as good as her pieces I would be very pleased. I have asked her permission to put some of her drawings on my blog, but I am going to be a bit sneaky and put three up now and then if she says no (she is very nice so I am sure she won't) I will take them down. How is that? Okay and I guess I actually better put up something by me - so I will put my initial cyclamen persicum flower workpaper here also. Not that exciting but it's something...Okay must go and work on a story I'm writing for my pa.
