Echinacea.05

These echinacea are from a garden in Cobble Hill Brooklyn.

They were drawn in August, when they were just beginning to die. I drew these in pen and ink, and I really like the way the top most, dying blossom is up above the rest.  When I am between projects, I draw flowers. If you look closely, you'll see echinacea stems are really thick and sturdy.

The Prints are Gorgeous.

The original is 17" x 14". The prints are beautiful accurate representations of the original, though slightly smaller (16" x 13"). I use Hahnemuhle German Etching paper and print right to the edges. The blacks are black, and the prints are virtually indistinguishable from the originals.
