Michelle gave us a few daylily corms last fall, and this is today’s bloom. I’ve been not drawing much the past few weeks. That felt freeing for a while. But when I don’t draw something I more or less just glide over the surface: “nice daylily, that one too, ✅✅” , checking it off mentally, not spending time with it. I really miss seeing slowly for a few minutes a day.
It was fascinating to follow the intricacies of each petal, knowing that the form is so ephemeral and that even as I was drawing it, it was withdrawing water from the petal and gearing up for seed making.
So I numbered it, but I don’t have a goal beyond drawing something every day. At least for now.
