Summer Verbena came about from an august morning in my garden sitting quietly, drinking my coffee before the house wake up and my moment is gone for the day.
 
Responding with a quick pastel sketch, hopeing to keep the image lose and in the moment I've then transfered the image directly onto a gelli plate held in stasis with acylic in warm tones I've hoped to captcher my moment of quiet.
