" A pink lily"


This pink lily was done according to a cover of a magazine. It was done quite quickly and without any effort. The thing I like most in this picture is a melange of colours, which makes the drawing dynamic. In general, I like flowers a lot. The variety of them is so enormous that it's hard to embrace them all. I'm fond of Latin names given to them. That's why I provide original Latin names to drawings.
In Pawlikowska's book:"Blondynka na safari"you can find out about different plant species growing in Africa. I want to make you familiar with one story about a baobab tree coming from that very book.
The baobab was one of the first trees created on Earth. But he was never satisfied with what he had. When shortly after him a slender palm tree appeared, the baobab complained that he is too short. When gods created a tree with fiery-red flowers, the baobab complained that he is too grey. When he saw a tree with delicious fruit, he complained and grumbled so much that gods lost patience. A mighty hand pulled the baobab out of the ground and put it again upside down with roots on top and till this day baobabs look as if by mistake they grew upside down. That's the story, a funny one, isn't it? I know a few ones but I'll sort it and reveal gradually.
Today a piece of wisdom by P. Coelho:
" You don't have to know "how" and "where" but before you do whatever, you should ask yourself a question: " What am I doing it for?"
