Dahlias are sun loving perennials, native to Mexico and Central America. Their ornate beauty is delicately depicted by Mary Shapiro @mshapdesign in her watercolor piece which can be viewed along with the work of 22 other artists in our Spring Digital Exhibit titled Floral Abundance, (link in our bio).

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to take a vellum workshop taught by @carolwoodinbotanical at the beautiful Elm Bank Reservation through @masshort. My painting is just at the beginning stage, but I’m looking forward to continuing to work on it. It was very inspiring to watch Carol work her magic during her demos. And what a fun group to take that class with! by @mshapdesign

Graphite portion of the Oak Leaf Patreon exercise from @laragastinger completed. Graphite is a soothing medium, which I’m appreciating in these unsettling times. Appreciating all who are standing up for kindness and decency against the hateful rhetoric and actions of those currently in office at the national level. by @mshapdesign
