Art Everyday Day Ten • Orange Beauty


Orange echinacea, gouache on paper, 12 x 18
She is a beauty. Echinacea, tall and elegant like a dancing ballerina in the garden.
Working on three echinacea flower paintings. I was able to complete this one today. 
When I finish the other two I will share them with you. 
The paintings are a product of yesterday's flower sketches.
Thank you for stopping by.

    Wonderful!
    This evokes soaking tea bags in the almost boiling water. Great for fighting infections like small viral colds, or if taken daily it staves off infection.
    Sorry that’s not the doctor in my I read it as a health consumer in a book by another MD and it works!
