Alstroemerias: Part 2

Here is a second batch of alstroemerias from my sketchbook (first one is here). By the end of the life of this bouquet, I tried to hang it upside down to dry flowers and preserve beautiful colors and shapes, but they fell off within a few breaths. 



Alstroemerias and Reproof for Dynamic Pricing

My local farmer's market used to have a large flower stand, which I quietly (or not so quietly) did not like much. Mostly because there were no prices anywhere, so one had to ask about pricing for every single flower, and I witnessed how the number was going up or down based on who was asking. I am not in favor of dynamic pricing and do not hide it. End of reproof.
But now that the flower stand is gone, and I missed them because even if buying there was not something I frequented, looking at flowers is always a part of my "why" for going to the market :) And then one of the local farms started bringing some flowers - these alstroemerias survived on my table for almost 3 weeks - so this post will have two parts - this is part one. 






Alstroemeria and other things on my table


I am working in this giant sketchbook (the kind that does not fit in any backpack - but more about it in another post). And there is a lot of things going on in this book - in particular - I am on a quest to learn to spell alstroemeria. I draw it every day and write it too. I think I am almost there (I had to correct it only twice during the preparation of this post - which is much better than before).
