Rose Periwinkle

 

I painted this small flower at the beginning of this sketchbook on the same page as the Blue Anemone. I had planned to make more blossoms and add leaves but haven't yet. I have been going back and sketching in the open/empty spaces in this large sketchbook. So often the sketches are out of chronological order, but this doesn't bother me.

I have a beautifully carved rosewood brush rack that sits on my studio project table. My husband bought it for me while he was on a business trip many, many years ago. This sketch is incomplete and a little wonky. It only shows a portion of the rack and a few of my many brushes. I use the little teapot to add water to my inkstone when I grind my ink.
