Tiny pink blossoms


Again, outside is the heavy rain all day long.
I did a pencil and water colour drawing on the timber surface. 

Drawing on and along the beautiful wood grain was such a pleasure! For the next drawing, I might also try working on the surface - scratching, curving with print-making tools. :)


The beginning of the drawing...

The work in progress ATTACKED!! 
My constantly moving brush was too tempting for someone.



Does anyone know the name of this plant/flower that I picked from my drive way this morning before the rain got too hard. Having studied it on the dining table all day now, I love these pom-pom like flowers so much!

Happy week end every one! Hope the weather is better wherever you are :)

  1. That's a red clover, Erin. It grows wild, but it can be sown for grazing animals. As a child, I loved the taste of clover honey made by bees which fed on clover nectar.

    I like how you experiment with new medium, and your partner made me smile (my cat was always trying to play with my threads). Have a beautiful weekend!

  2. Oh, your cat is so funny! So lovely to watch the process of your work, and your experiments!
    The plant would make interesting painting subject matter. The colour, the texture. Hmm. Will you be painting it?
    Happy weekend Erin;-)

  3. Oh how beautiful, I know how you feel with your kitty chasing your brush. My rats are terrible for it, but it's so sweet I don't mind.
    The flower looks like Red Clover <3

  4. Dawn I love your childhood memory of the taste of cover honey...!
    Thank you for visiting Valerianna, Annamaria and Lottie.
    These flowers are harder and smaller than red clovers and the leaves do not come in 3, maybe a native plant here...?
    Yes it is so sweet when our animal friends play in our work spaces :D Just added another photo of the kitten interrupting my daughter painting. :)

  8. it looks like you have two or three different plants there. the one blossom on the left looks a bit like red clover. some of the farmers around us here in oregon plant fields of this, and it's a delight to see when it blooms.

  9. Wow your drawing is such a sweet reflection of your sculpture style. Nice congruency there. I get a calm sensation of peacefulness from your work. My sense is that is what you gain when you create it. Beautiful work all around! Sanna
