Artwork description:

Oh, my! The dahlias are in bloom. They wait until the very end of summer and then go crazy! This is the dahlia out my front door. It's crimson and orange and coral. It's pretty amazing!

I drew this dahlia onto linoleum. And it took me all day! Then, I carved it out... which also took all day. And then, I printed it and painted it. Another five hours. I can't help it. I wait for these flowers are year long, and then pfft! They're gone.

Materials used:

linoleum and carving tools, printing paper and ink, watercolor and gouache
