Word Path •Sending Congratulations and Highlighting my Sister's Favorite for May Flower Challenge Day Ten

My sister's favorite flower for day ten of the May Flower Challenge , which I am combining with my Word Path Series today. I am dedicating today's post to my sister who graduates tomorrow with a Master's degree. See my Word Path below.

_________________________________________________________________

For the May Flower Challenge , each day you can post your flower creation, whether it is a doodle, drawing, photograph, collage or painting. This challenge has been started by Lori Moon, fellow blogger, talented photographer and jewelry artisan. Sign up and join in on the flower fun. Can't wait to see what you create as well! Please note: You do NOT have to participate every day. Play along on a specific day each week or only once - whatever inspires you. Join the challenge, here, it is going to be fun.

I love this challenge not because I have a love for drawing, painting and printing flowers but it is an excellent way to build up your motif library. It also keeps your drawing hand in motion and the creative flow becomes a part of your being.

This is so perfect in celebration of my sister's big day. It is all about dreams, opportunity, career changes and second careers about to blossom, just great fantastic stuff.

I dedicate this Word Path to her. Today offers powerful change.

You did it and we are so proud of you.

You lead the direction of your dreams.

May Flower Challenge Day Two • Blue Magnolia joins the Collection

Blue Magnolia for day two of the May Flower Challenge . Each day you can post your flower creation, whether it is a doodle, drawing, photograph, collage or painting. This challenge has been started by Lori Moon, fellow blogger, talented photographer and jewelry artisan. Sign up and join in on the flower fun. Can't wait to see what you create as well! Please note: You do NOT have to participate every day. Play along on a specific day each week or only once - whatever inspires you. Join the challenge, here, it is going to be fun.

Magnolia sketches from last year's archives were used as reference for my new piece of art.

It always starts with a sketch. These sketches funnily enough were showcased in last November's Art Everyday Month Challenge. You can see it here.

My sweet, new Blue Magnolia joins my collection of large flowers
which include Daisies, Echinaceas and Asian inspired florals.

Framed and ready for my show!

Its Show Time....Bringing Out the Big Brushes and the Big Flowers

The start of my Large Flower project for my late spring and early summer shows. Working with acrylic ink, movement and large strokes. Going for twelve of these.

My approach is just like drawing at a figure drawing class!
