Freebie Friday - Gerbera Daisy

I love Gerbera Daises, actually I love ALL daisies.  As a child I would pick my neighbor's daisies and would paint and draw them.  She said she never realized until I went off to college how many daisies I actually picked.

My favorite were her orange and pink Gerbera Daisies, I would mix them with Shasta Daisies and give the bouquet to my grandma once I was finished.  When I had knee surgery in high school Angie picked all her orange Gerbera Daisies for me and the gift also included Micron Pens and a sketchbook.  I sketched those daisies for days.  This week I managed to sprain my knee (the same knee I had surgery on) so I have been laid up all week.  I decided to pull out my Micron Pens and start sketching.  Once I sketched the daisy I brought it into Photoshop and practiced my digital painting.  I am extremely pleased with how it turned out and expect to see a lot more pen and ink drawing style digis in the future.

Don't forget to check out our Facebook Page and sign up for our Newsletter that comes out April 1st!  My goal for April is to start posting and utilizing the Facebook page more and do the Monday Release again.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

    Lovely image! Thanks for sharing it and the story of your neighbor. We lived next door to a lady who had lovely flowers when I was growing up and still remember walking through her gardens!
