More Orchid and a bit of Buzzing…

I can’t lie, I have not been very productive this week. So many things in the air but the last two nights I just haven’t had the will to do any work. I haven’t been at a total standstill but close. Here is some progress on the orchid…

 

 

I’m starting to like the direction this is going. The extra time and effort is really starting to pay off. I think I might make some prints on wood of this after it is done. I also messed around with this idea a little more…

 

 

This was a little less successful. Some has to do with the way the markers lay on the substrate, some of it was the design not really working. The first drafts were more simple and clean and worked much better. My daughter colored one too but she was really unhappy with how the marker looked too and asked me not to post it. She chose a really nice color scheme which made it all the more disappointing.

I did get a jump on my latest project though. This sprung out of the piece above. I would probably have this done already if it wasn’t for my recent bout of sloth. I have my inks done but really coloring is what this one is going to be all about. I hinted at it before, here is the first glimpse…

 

A bit underwhelming, I know. The final piece is really going to be a sum of its parts. If I can only get myself motivated. I think tonight is going to be a bit better but we will see.
