Dandelions

Seeing those giant dandelions in my yard, I usually will struggle to pull them. They are easy to break at the root, and just grow back! But then, after doing some reading up on the benefits of this plant, I have a little more respect for it! I still will pull most of them that are invasive, but will definitely make a wish while blowing the delicate seeds.

Sicily in Gouache

I had started this painting several weeks ago, but lost my inspiration. Today I got that inspiration back, and decided to go heavy with the bold gouache. I then used Staedtler's Triplus Fineliner by Johanna Basford to outline everything. It turned out 'cartoonish' my family told me, but they liked it. Still trying to find my style, and this feels right so far. Sicily is a place I would like to visit someday because of my maternal heritage.
