Day 2

Spring Wildflowers

Spring feels so liberating to me and I like to take walks to look for the very first wildflowers of the season. My little girl can't help but want to pick them and bring them home. The tax ditch near where I live is always teeming with life. It's the place where the animals come for a drink and the first flowers emerge. There is where Eden picked a handful of wildflowers. As we walked back she held them out and said, "Here mommy. These are for you!" Totally warmed my heart. I put them in a mason jar and set them in my kitchen widow. They looked so pretty I grabbed the jar and went to my craft desk to sketch them.

I used Jane Davenport watercolors here. For the background I used 2 different shades of blue mixed on top of my glass media mat. I pressed the watercolor paper on top of it to get this 'sky' effect. After the watercolor dried I used some Prisma colored pencils to add the white and some orange in the center of the flowers.

You can't see it in the picture but there is wink of stella all over the place. I felt like it needed a border so googled doodle borders. I found this one example that I felt would work. So easy and simple to draw a line and add some dots to it. 

This jar is available in the Change The World KOM 2020.

Every time I see it used I can't help but think of warm spring walks, little hands and her big heart.
