I picked some zinnias from my yard and took them to work with me so I could enjoy them. I was able to do a little drawing of one of them yesterday afternoon. This is Pigma Micron ink and then Prismacolor pencil. OOOOOH I had fun doing this! The note at the top is the colors of another zinnia. I love these flowers! They just shout with color.
My new goal is to do a small sketch, drawing, or painting every day - doesn't have to be elaborate, but I want to observe something and draw it every day. We'll see how it goes...

Bravo! I've been thinking about setting a similar goal for myself. I haven't drawn a thing in days. I have been working on my lettering and calligraphy, however. There just aren't enough hours in the day!
After a month of daily drawing you'll be in charge of a great new habit :)
What lovely colours on the zinnia!!
Beautiful! I like how delicately the petals are layered.
I've never been a big fan of zinnias but this one is beautiful!
Hi Deborah, I really enjoyed looking over your entire blog. I really liked your artwork and it made me alwo realize that we can be either very artistic/creative in our journaling or we can resort to just scribbling. Sometimes I get waaaaaaay to uptight about thinking a drawing has to be a masterpiece. I also liked your quotes by Carole King and Mary Lou Cook...went so far as to write them down in my sketchbook. Thank you. Susan
How cute would this be on one of those tiny canvases?
Wow Deborah...the color just pops!
Lovely work! You've given me the idea to do some of my flowers from my garden too. Botanical painting is on my short list of things I want to accomplish. Beautiful!
Vibrant and fresh...just beautiful! :)
I love your Zinnias!!! They make you happy just to look at them!!
I'm encouraging you in your desire to sketch some every day!!

Gorgeous!!! Literally seems to pop off the page!
Zinnia are happy flowers - nice colors on this one!
great sketch good colors and I love the details
This is gorgeous! I need to plant some of these.
this is a wonderful goal. You are inspiring me. I've started carrying my sketchbook with me in my big purse, but so far, that's all I'm doing. I forget that it's there, most of the time!
This first one is really lovely!
Nancy
