Periodically I do drawing of my photography in dye markers. This is a photograph that's been sitting on my desk for over the past year. Each time I look at it I think, that's so beautiful, I should do a color drawing of that. So eventually I did.

Remembering my mom today, Judi Welch-Schmidt (1940-2025). She was a dynamic individual: creative, imaginative and musical, who gave me my values and inspired my artistic temperament. She passed away Friday, May 9th, around 3:30 AM after succumbing to dementia and old age.

Daffodil bracts emerging in the snow. February 2025
A close-up of daffodil leaves and bracts emerging from snow on the ground. Other plants, most likely iris leaves,are emerging as well and dark spots where the snow has begun to melt dot the composition field. Daffodil leaves planted in a diagonal line from the lower right to the upper left emerge from a field of snow.

It kills me that I'm still harvesting from my kitchen garden this year. Most of the carrots are not worth writing home about but these two are nine inches long!
On a bamboo cutting board can be found eight carrots and two good sized leeks. Two of the eight carrots on the far left are 9 inches while the remaining ones vary in size from four to six inches. Two nine inch carrots on a cutting board are compared to a silver tape measure.

Rose Champion, November 2024, looking a bit worse for wear, but it is late in the season. I kind of like that they are not so perfect at this late moment.

Yellow rose, November 2024
A multi-petaled yellow rose leaning downward to the left with creamy yellow on facing surfaces with the undersides of the petals tinged with pale peachy-pink. Out of focus leaves in the background frame the bloom.

Yellow rose, November 2024
Against a jumble of green leaves and grey branches a very full and round yellow rose on a bent stalk is opening its petals towards the lower left while its large spikey dark green leaves touched with purple dominates the lower right. The petals are touched with a light red tinge giving the bloom, with multiple layers curling back gently at the edges, a peachy pink tone over the pale yellow base color. The effect is striking in its contrast to the background.

Phalaenopsis, November 2015
Close-up photo of an orchid flower with blurred support stakes in background. The bloom has a yellow-green color with variegated lines in a deep magenta which is echoed in the center petals protecting the pistil and stamen. The magenta pattern on the petals radiate from the center as short lines and lines of dots that concentrate and branch towards the edge. Green underdeveloped buds peak from behind petals to the right.

Pelargonium, November 2017
Delicate backlit pinky-peach roundels on a single stem create a pom-pom display against soft focus green leaves and three duplicate stems bearing magenta blooms and one open bloom in red off to the middle right. The background suggests out-of-focus view out a window where brown framework, greenery and lawn can be seen.

Photography I've recently been posting on other platforms: Schlumbergera, October 2021; Cyclamen November 2014; Cyclamen, October 2020; and Dahlia, October 2020
Schlumbergera (Thanksgiving cactus) blooming in two pots in magenta, pink and red blooms, in a window with leaded glass frames featuring sunbursts in altenating yellow and clear rippled panes. The pot the magenta cactus is planted is seated on a tiled table. Cyclemen blooming with pink petals among leaves. Cyclemen blossom with sparse leaves below. A dahlia bloom with a single layer of red petals around a central cluster of yellow stamen with pistils in a darker red. Gray-green leaves, pale mauve stems and unopened buds surround the lone bloom.
