This simple marigold pastel is from a few years ago. I'm getting ready to plant marigolds soon. These cheery and colorful blossoms really brighten up the summer garden and they are beneficial to plant among your vegetables.

My newest soft pastel work is a nigella flower, also called love-in-a-mist, on a pale blue-violet backdrop. This art has more of a calm, monotone color scheme. The details of the flower's center were a challenge.

This pastel artwork is one of my more fanciful pieces. I wanted to impart a sense of mystery with the creature peering shyly from beneath the roses. The viewer may make up their own story about what this being is and why it is there in the garden. I was also particularly pleased with the rosebuds. I love doing white flowers.

This pink dianthus blossom artwork was created in soft pastels on sanded paper. I'm not really fond of working on the sanded papers but this one turned out well. These pretty flowers bloom in early to mid spring where I live and have a wonderful scent. I love having them in my garden.

Finally wrote the last blog post in my series on #DigitalArt particularly the so-called #AIArt with this trio of #FloralArtwork. The Pretty Pink Tulips are my personal favorite. Details at https://kmgunnart.com/2023/01/03/digital-floral-art/ if you'd like to read about the making of these, along with my conclusions about computer-generated images (Spoiler alert: I am not worried about my job as an #artist)

White flowers are a favorite subject of my soft pastel work. Their subtle shades intrigue me and I find it challenging to capture their elegance. Many of these have been grown in my own garden. A series of these wonderful floral artworks are available as prints at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/collections/white+flowers+series. #PastelArtwork #FloralArtwork #WhiteFlowers
