I took this photograph of these spring flowers at Descanso Gardens. I love their delicate purple petals. I'm not sure what they are, but I thought they were very pretty. I hope that you will enjoy this photo!
Edit: Thanks so much Christine and Jennifer for identifying them as crocuses!
I love to paint flowers, you may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.
=================================================
Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden. Her hair is charming with a pixie cut and a peek a boo look... I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess. I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in September. This is day 20.
I am also participating in the September 29 Faces Challenge! The goal is to share 29 faces in the month of September. I think I will try to extend it out to a goal of 100 faces sketched on consecutive days...
This is a rough sketch.
Lisa those flowers are crocus, wonderful shot! Love your maiden's hairstyle today.
