Hi Susan, I love the color! and you have really stepped up to the challenge of those petals, with all those ruffles and creases. Beautiful, the stems, the leaves, the flowers, all sensitively observed and drawn. I particularly like the bud on the right side.

What is this flower, Susan? The color is so pretty! Nice job with the ruffled petals. I wonder about the center of the flower… can you show us a photo? Love the tonal range in that bud!!
Hi Vern, This is a Mexican petunia (ruellia simplex), grows wild in Florida. I am not sure how much further to take it….it’s frightening! lol. I kept confusing myself with the color and was able to richen it more after spending quite a bit of time on Wendy’s color wheel tutorials.
