This was an attempt at using chalk pastels to watercolor. I think further exploration of this technique will need to wait till I've got a better handle on dry pastels.

Here's a wrist corsage that was for a prom (yes a prom in January).

Another modern one.  I havn't done much in this style, so I wasn't sure how it would come out. It was a really slow day at work so I could take some time playing around with it. It was a lot of fun to figure out how I wanted the lines and color blocks, and I was happy with how it turned out. Now maybe I won't be as nervous when I get a request for modern.

This one was for a funeral. It's always a little sad designing for those.

I've found that even when I'm drawing or painting, it's usually of plants or flowers. Can you tell I'm a florist?

This time you get two pictures because they go together. These were for an apartment building that my shop does flowers for. I don't normally design for them, but the other florist was out so I got to try my hand at their contemporary style.
