This is a cropped section I did some time back of a bouquet of wild flowers in a glass pitcher. Do you sometimes do a sketch that you like for one reason or another, but you can't quite picture it as a finished piece? When I saw that the topic for today was "faded", I immediately thought of the flowers in my garden and about how quickly everything becomes faded after the long wait for them to bloom. I don't mean for that to sound so pessimistic, honestly I don't. Maybe I'm feeling this way because we had a downpour here last evening and my peonies were just beginning to come into full bloom. On the upside, I planted beets and tomatoes from seed and they are doing surprisingly well. I'm looking forward to checking their nice and slow progress each day!

Loving the purples and pinks on the dark paper, gives a more moody feel to a still life.
A beautiful and colorful bouquet of wildflowers- as soft and easy going as a pair of faded blue jeans!
Sorry about the peonies in the rain- hope they didn't completely collapse! :o)
Oh the colors and the illustration is magical. Great work. Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me. I so appreciate you taking time to do so. Best to you for a wonderful week.
This is really nice! Sometimes it's hard to decide when to stop with "just a sketch". This feels very right! Nice take on the topic, too. Thanks for stopping by my place :)
One of the things I really like about blogging is that it gives a place for stuff that might not go into a frame but is still worth looking at. I like the looseness of this piece, and all flowers are good :)
So true about gardens and flowers! This is a beautiful piece..it captures the prompt perfectly Vicki!
