Happy Birthday Millie

The rhododendrons were so beautiful this year. Too bad the rain trashed them. It seems that many beautiful flowers bloom for a short time. We must enjoy them while they're here. I made many sketches of the rhodies, always finding them a challenge. I tried different paints trying to get the color. I tried wetting the paper; dry paper, dry brush. I drew with pencil, marker, watercolor pencil.
I finally came up with this ink and wash that I like a lot. It feels kinda loose and has an ease about it.
Millie liked it too, as I used the image for her birthday card. (It's today, June 12th) Click the pic
