Roses and Alstroemeria

This etching was drawn from flowers I arranged in a pottery container one summer while staying on a lake in Georgia.  I drew and later engraved in the early morning on a screen porch that had wonderful light.  The porch overlooked the lake.  My composition has an open rose, a rosebud that is unfurling and a bud that is still tight.  I found the alstroemeria interesting from the front, side and back, and arranged and drew it from those angles.  And, although not in the title, there is also a lily bud in this summer composition.

Also , soon to be available, printed in green ink & hand-colored in watercolor.
