Flower Power

The other day I wanted to draw but I wanted to do something a little different. I have been doing lots of quotes and lyrics and scriptures lately, and I just had the urge to draw. Like, no words, just a pretty picture. I thought pretty quickly of flowers, and some of my favorite flowers ever - my bridal bouquet! I don't know what it is about these flowers, but I just love them. I still think my bouquet was the most beautiful thing ever! I still even have it - it is dried up and in a vase by our front door :)

So anyway, I got out a good picture to go off of and I got to drawing. I wanted it to be true to my style, but I also wanted it to be a pretty accurate portrayal of my bouquet. I think I was successful in both! I then scanned the drawing into the computer and added color. It ended up being this beautiful, fun illustration that I am so pleased with!

I want to experiment more with this kind of project. Anyone interested in letting me borrow a picture of their bouquet or just some flowers they love to create more of these little illustrations? I haven't decided yet if this is something I will make available in the Etsy shop, or if it is something that appeals to a wider audience than just, well, myself, so let me know what you think - I'd love to get feedback!
