I started with just a rough sketch and then decided to go over it in pen and ink. I wanted to add some color since it included such a beautiful purple, so I went over everything with colored pencil. I used three colors in most areas, except for the green stems (just using two there.) It was a relatively quick drawing that I did last night, so I was pleased with how it turned out.

Hi Carol, I have enjoyed looking at your botanicals. It is nice to see someone using cps - my favourite medium! The houses on your website are great...even if they aren't done in cps. :-)
Hi Teresa - thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments. I looked at your blog and website and your work is incredible! I love the detail that you do and the glow you get in your pieces. Wonderful stuff. I am really enjoying getting some color into my work and look forward to doing more colored pencil work.
Your pink rose looked lovely when it was finished. You have made a good job of capturing the orchid and I like your use of the inks and pencils together.
Glad you liked my blue leaf, thanks for the comment.
Thanks, Milly! I am really enjoying the pen/ink and colored pencil combination.
Hi Carol,
Lovely work! Your work is inspirational.
Are you by chance related to the late Bill Creech? He worked with my husband.
Hi Rosemary - thank you so much! I''m so glad you enjoy my work. I don't think I'm related to the late Bill Creech...not sure. It's my husband's side of the family. :)
