A blooming Christmas cactus to kick off the new year. I should write more in this post, I suppose, but I want to get back to the plant and draw it again.

Happy New Year to all of you.

Colored pencil on sketchpaper.

  2. What a creative way of capturing this bloom. I really like how you have painted it. I painted one I think last February -- when mine was blooming. It was running behind schedule and missed "Christmas".

  6. I just love your composition, and fearless negative space use. One of my 2010 goals is "Design, design, design" - you're showing me the way :)
