This morning, I took a morning walk at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. It is one of my favorite places to visit. I do not have a green thumb, so I need to go to the gardens to see beautiful flowers. The weather is still spring-like, with a lot of humidity. The summer heat has not hit yet. Birds were every where. A Blue Jay posed for me ; and I captured a photo of a cardinal just before he took off.
I made a short video with the photos I took with my phone.
The color, design, and textures in the garden were inspirational. I think these flowers are named Brown-eyed Susan.
I used fabric paint and crayons on canvas for the background. Then I cut fabric to form the stems, leaves, and flowers. I thread sketched a bit to give it texture. Then I machine stitched a black outline.
I love your portrait. I’m especially liking that fresh green you used.
Thank you. I was wondering if I had used too much green.
Gorgeous
Thank you.
I love the way you go somewhere and then immediately make something related!
Thanks. The gardens are so inspirational.
