Assignment 10; working in the field

Assignment 10; working in the field. Page 1.
(Please note; not very good quality pictures!)
My chosen habitat was the canal and waters edge.
We were asked to draw five examples from our chosen habitat. One example in the natural habitat and one example with dissection.

Typha latifolia - Bulrush, Great Reedmace. X 0.5
Rana temporia - Common frog.
Iris versicolor - Purple flag iris

Page 2;
Centurea montana - Perennial cornflower with dissection.
Taraxacum officinale - Dandelion.
Papaver dubium - Long headed poppy

Jessica Rosemary Shepherd said...: I LOVE the style in this Julie - it's definately got 'style'... almost 1950s, but not quite. Really like this, it's 'art' and very different and quite unique. My favourite is the Iris... I hope your tutor see's how stylish this is and appreciates how hard it is to be that unique whilst being accurate at the same time. Well done!; 25 July 2011 at 17:41

Anonymous said...: Thank you Jess; i have been told from other artists that my work does have a design quality and very different from the traditional botanical artwork. I have tried to be more botanical; however i always finish with this unique style!! My tutor was born in 1936 (i think) So not sure what she is going to think of my work! But hey we are in the modern world and we have to move on!! Thank you Vicki; i like to put part of me into my work for sure :) xoxox; 26 July 2011 at 07:20

Jessica Rosemary Shepherd said...: Seems to be working ok for me. Maybe check your settings? It could be sorted now - just a glitch on google's front? Also - make sure your profile in the thin box below this one is set up as Julie Whelan (Google) not as 'Anonymous'...; 31 July 2011 at 05:00
