seed



Sometimes Illustration Friday posts a theme that is so appropriate it's laughable. How do I choose? I have reworked this week's theme so many times over the past couple of years that I have dozens of images to choose from (and no desire to do another after having done two this week already). So I compromised.
note - these are all cropped from larger works

Beautiful illustrations here and I know what you mean aboout appropriate theme. I have loads but have decided to do a new one as the subject is so great. Mind you I've got to do it yet!

I thoroughly enjoyed viewing SILENT SPRING SPORES.

My attention is uncontrollably drawn down to the bulb penetrating the virgin soil..nice.

What glourius colour and your cropped patchwork is very successful.

Another illustration Friday that showed up in my mailbox that had me thinking of you first and foremost. I like the alternating montage of color paintings with your metallic drawings. Looks great!

Wow what a truly Andrean theme!

Love the way you've gathered your seeds and sown them.

Sometimes, when I open up your blog, I just get this overwhelming feeling that I want to LIVE in your paintings. This is one of those times.

I think the word is 'excelled' rather than compromised Andrea, a wonderful compilation.

I love the theme of seeds in spring, and even other seasons as they rest quietly conspiring to dazzle us!
I've always enjoyed your many different inclusions of the underground and seeds. Sometimes we forget the earth doesn't start where our feet meet the soil. Nice compilation.

You compromise brilliantly, my dear. You are my artistic hero and you should be a millionaire from your work.

Brilliant grafting of so many seedlings, Andrea. Love the interplay of vivid color with the more earth-toned, the geometric with the organic. Lush.
