Trillium catesbaei
Mixed media on watercolor postcard
Will be for sale as part of a series
The weekend looms... I have a craft show this weekend (jewelry and henna), and I'm preparing for the whirlwind of activity. BUT! I squeezed in my painting this morning. Actually I didn't squeeze, it kind of took over the morning. That's okay, it looks like I'll get my stuff done, barring any glitches.
Trilliums are easily in my top five favorite wildflowers -- some of them smell amazing, and some of them are so lovely and delicate, like this one. They pop up in the dreary leaf-fall of an early spring forest floor and look so cheerful. This is one of several southeastern US varieties, Catesby's trillium, which comes in white, pink, and a sort of variegated mix of the two.
I expect there will be no squeezing in painting tomorrow unless you count henna (should I? hmmm....), so I'll be playing catch-up next week, three paintings behind, but I should have plenty of time to do it.
