Looks great, I am also into botanical art, I'm doing a project on Marianne North, the famous botanical illustrator, at the moment, and she was unusual in that she painted the background into her studies. Yippee, more work for me once I've drawn the actual plant!
If I could connect my scanner to this computer I would show you some of my work, but I can't unless I pay for a better windows package. >
Very nice illustrations, craigo! Miri, can you photograph pieces and upload that way? Some scanners at copy shops, libraries etc. can also email things to you. I love botanical illustration, wish I had the dedication to develop such skill!
Nice work! both of you. I dappled in oils of Landscapes and birds years ago. I like pencils sketches but wasn't really good at.
I also like that impressionistic look of your art Miri.
Keep it up!
