As in: back to the drawing board. I returned to really my only flower haunt in Tulsa for another go at their numerous anthuria.
The drawing is done!
Now, it's time for color, I have a doubt: digital color or colored pencil and watercolor? Any advice? What do you think? :)

es war ein sehr heißer Sommer. Im ganzen Sommer war das dritte kleine Skizzenbuch dabei: am See, auf dem Weg von und zur Arbeit, am Wochenende und unter der Woche. Aus vielen kleinen Skizzen werden mit der Zeit Aquarelle
it was the hot summer 2016. Always with me the tiny sketchbook #3: Commuting, gone swimming on weekends and during the week. Tiny sketches become watercolors over time

I drew this bee a long time ago but darkened the faded colours a bit and gave it to my friend Tracy.

My drawing was based upon this reference photo by Jenni (Flickr username kaynassen). I changed the sky color in my drawing, but otherwise I tried to maintain the essence of the photo as much as I could. I was inspired by that vibrant pink VW Beetle against the backdrop of such a rustic building.
In 1986 when I was working on my Autographs project, I was able to contact Elizabeth Taylor, through her agent, and she was gracious enough to autograph this drawing that I did of her. I didn't meet her, but I was very pleased she liked the drawing enough to sign it. Also, I think it was because of her signing this drawing that got Michael Jackson to take notice of my work. They were great friends, and when I contacted his office to sign a drawing, he eventually saw this drawing and he agreed to sign the drawing I did of him. Which led to Michael hiring me to illustrate his coloring book, Moonwalker - The Coloring Book.
My Autographs project was something I came up with and worked on during the 1980s and early 1990s. I would do a drawing of a famous person and search them out to see if they would autograph it. I met many of them. Some of the people who signed my drawings were; President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy Reagan (this was when he was President and my drawing was in the Oval Office in the White House!), Andy Warhol, Al Hirschfeld, David Levine, Liza Minnelli, Stephen Sondheim, Spike Lee, Paloma Picasso (I have a signed Picasso!), Lucille Ball, Jeremy Irons, Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Malcom Forbes, The Eurythmics (Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart) and Molly Ringwald to name a few.
I also had a number of rejections; Jacqueline Onassis, Bette Midler, Yoko Ono, Donald Trump, Katherine Hepburn (who wrote me a wonderful note - which she signed - so I got my autograph) and Jerry Seinfeld. There were some others. But, most of the people I contacted autographed their drawings.
It was a great project, I just did it for myself and I had a lot of fun. Meeting many of these people was a thrill!! I would have loved to have met Elizabeth Taylor in person, just to look into those beautiful violet eyes of hers!!
