more Texas wildflowers

In the spring I began filling this wee sketchbook (under 3" square) with Texas wildflowers found near our new home. Then throughout the hot, humid summer, I sort of ignored it . . . . There weren't as many wildflowers seen then anyway.

But now lots of new ones have filled the local pastures, mostly yellow. So I added them this past week.

      And this time, most are drawn on site! --- if you count drawing copies of the originals that were drawn on site in my bigger sketchbook. Fields are getting colorful again, and our roses are going crazy with blooms!

    Elva, I am amazed at the variety of wildflowers here! And so many I didn't know before. I almost missed that scarlet pea, it's so tiny.

    Vicky, lovely wildflower sketches! Are these gouache or watercolor?

    Dory, these are watercolor over ink; the white bits are from a watercolor crayon.

    (The toned papers are Nideggen and Fabriano Tiziano.)
