I love my students. Amanda Tirk gave me the title of this one. I had photographed a beautiful flowering shrub while in Ft. Bragg over Christmas break, but I failed to find out what they were called. Later, setting up the assignment to use four different zones and come up with a drawing (scratchboard, neg/pos shapes, cubes, full value, and pointillism) Okay that's five...anyway. I realized I didn't know the name of the flower. Amanda saw my drawing and said, "Oh, ballerina flowers. I love those."

Beautiful piece. Aren't the flowers "Columbine"? Or "Honeysuckle"? I like Ballerina better, though.
They do look like columbine, but these don't grow on the ground. They're a flowering shrub. I thought ballerina flowers was a beautiful name as well.
How about Fuscias? Kinda looks like one.

Thanks, Iggi. I will visit your site. Probably sometime this weekend. This week I've got two art shows I want to go to...and taking tickets after school makes for a long day. Thanks again though for checking out my art.
