I tried incorporating types of cactus into my abstract, didn't quite work I don't think, but this piece has grown on me since I drew it. do you see the stone cactus. I love those things, they are pretty cool.

a heart

everything has holes even the heart. One of my faves.

outlined abstract

I feel like I went a little crazy with the black ink. I like the pink lollipop flower trees.

pink abstract

It looks like I drew everything and then shook the picture and it all fell to one side.

I'm kind of fascinated with how drawings/painting/art in general progress on paper. Your initial drawing grows and connects to bits you drew earlier, you leave it & come back and add new shapes you wouldn't have thought to add earlier, be inspired by someone else's work and start using a color combination you never thought of. My favorite color combination is turquoise and orange red from one of my favorite paintings Philip Guston's "Ocean". 5x7 with gouache, watercolor and india ink
