Red Flower

In Katie's garden everything grew. She first put this to a test planting jelly beans, being rewarded with a miniature tree bearing sweets. Post-it bookmarks grew into a plant with rectangular leaves in neon colours. An USB stick buried sprouted small chips covering the ground, moss-like. A pin was a seed for a silvery bristling cactus.

Everything grew, bigger every day, until there was hardly any room to move left. The plants were starting to spread beyond the boundary.

Katie planted a coal. It brought forth fire, blooming brilliantly.


What would YOU plant in such a garden?

ACEO (3.5 by 2.5 inches), water colours (and black and white ink)

Drawn from life (from one of my miniature orchids). The background gave me some trouble - first I used orange, which overpowered the yellow blossoms, then I added an Ochre wash, which was better, but still too similar, so then I added a very light wash of umber.

ca. 4x6 inces, or in the general vicinity of an A6 postcard, watercolours on cold press watercolour paper.

I looked at my gallery, and decided what I really needed right now was more bright colours.

Pinkness!

Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but I liked the 3D-shape of the blossom with the stamina.

Red, red, red

Red, red, red

I liked the way it stood out against the shadow, even if the red turned out rather too bright.
