I don’t ask students to read my own work but this time I’m including this homage to Janet Malcolm where I’ve painted in oil her photo of the American weed Burdock.

The above painting is of poppies by Berger, from a book (Seeing Through Drawing) edited my friend @johnchristieartist and the second one is of asters by Leanne Sharon from the book American Wildflowers edited by Susan Barba.
