My painting for the day (though I may do another in a little bit) is an attempt at a new technique (at least new for me). Essentially, I am taking a graphic artists slant on drawing a poinsettia. Though I can (and did) paint a poinsettia to be more realistic, I wanted to blend my love of pen & ink with a graphic design. I've seen others add the blank border around the petals of flowers. I like that approach. So I attempted it. Overall, I find the result fairly pleasing. No doubt I'll try this approach again in the future.Hopefully you enjoy my noodling around with my painting. And here's hoping that this flower helps brighten your day .. as so much of the country is locked in very cold weather. There's something fundamentally cheerful about poinsettias. So, here's hoping you enjoy!
