quandaries and acceptance

I think this one is about being proud of what I have done and can do. It just happened today when I was going through photos from my first black and white photography class, and the pens and pastels came out, and voila. But I didn't really have an explanation for it after I finished trimming the edges, I'm not even sure it's finished--it just felt good to find photos that I took that made me want to make something new.

Although parts of this look collaged, none are. It is a flat drawing in pen and soft pastel.

AS OF 9/20: THIS WORK TO BE SOLD AT THE 10X10 SHOW BRUNSWICK, MAINE. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT ME.

Daughter of the Flower Lady of Brunswick

My mother is a florist/flower designer. This sketch doesn't do her work justice, but it was fun to draw a composition that was designed so well for me.
