Daisies
"Moon Flowers"
" I'd chose to be a daisy, if i might be a flower; Closing my petals softly at twilight's quiet hour; And waking in the morning, when falls the early dew, to welcome heavens bright sunshine and heavens bright teardrops too. "
I'd Choose to be a Daisy, Anon. ' The Language of Flowers '
16"x20" Print of Digital Drawing Printed on Canvas; ready to hang.
The warmth and humanity of hand sketching always appealed to me, and I wanted to apply that feel to the medium of digital drawing through Procreate on the iPad. In order to achieve the desired effect, I experimented with different brush settings and blending tools. The first piece I created in this series is “Dandelions”, which are like suns growing beneath our feet, and was inspired by my own mother's love, support, and warmth. Those in my life who show compassion to others inspire me greatly. In gathering references for these pieces, I let these feelings guide me: strength, guidance, and protectiveness.
My hope is that as you view these drawings, you will feel the same strength from the women and flowers depicted. May you take in the perseverance they each display to stand tall, continue to grow, and Live Tenderly.
