granny's bonnets

We are heading into a long weekend for the Melbourne Cup - it is on Tuesday, but many people take the Monday off, too. Erin school has the day off, John is taking leave on Monday, and I don't have to be back at school again until Thursday. A whole week off for me! I am looking forward to getting a heap of drawing done.

I haven't drawn a flower portrait for a while (maybe a week - I don't know how I made it!!), and have been inspired by the columbines/granny's bonnets/aquilegia that are in full bloom in my garden right now - I love them - so prolific, they just self seed and look amazing. Such a unique flower.

Oh Helen, this is gorgeous. We just returned from Colorado, where this is the state flower. I brought some seeds back as a gift for my son. We have all left Colorado, but we all still love the "Colorado Columbine". You really portray it beautifully here.

Thanks, Dawn and Susan. It's such a great flower. *love it*. I've changed this pic a bit since first posting and am now much happier with the finished result.
