IMPROVE YOUR FLORAL DESIGN!

That is MY goal for this year as well!  I've started collecting a whole bunch of beautiful floral images on Pinterest (thank goodness for Pinterest) that are inspiring me to no end!  How we arrange our florals and still lives in general will have a tremendous impact on the outcome of our paintings-digital or otherwise.

Here's the link to the board:

I've also started reading 2 amazing books on floral design.  One is THE FLOWER RECIPE BOOK which will astound you beyond measure for the artful way in which the 2 authors, Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo, design their floral arrangements!  I am in love with this book…..The second one is actually more basic, leading you from A to Z in floral design, but equally as beautiful.  It's called FLOWER ARRANGING by Judith Blacklock.
