Paper Magnolia

I turned some pieces of paper into colorful Magnolia. What do you think about my attempt to turn illustrations into reality?

I'm sure you can see how much fun I had first creating these lovelies and then taking pictures.

PS. The line sheet that I have been working on since the past month is finally over! Yay! It was a very time consuming process but I'm very satisfied with the results. :)

As soon I figure out how to post pdf files in blogger I will share it with you all.

Obviously I was in a extra bright mood when I created this yesterday :) 

Lately I have notices a slight change in my color palette. From highly saturated colors, I have started gravitating towards slightly muted ones (relatively speaking of course). Yesterday's Illustration had the slightly muted colors that I'm talking about. Still bright and colorful but a little less saturated. 

And this has me a little bit bothered. I have always attributed my bright color palette to my Indian roots and any deviation from that scares me and makes me question if I'm getting a little disconnected from my culture. Or if it is a natural progression/ evolution in my work. Whatever it is I'm keeping an eye on it.

I guess I'm in love with Magnolia! For the past few weeks I've been drawing them all day. With the temperature almost touching 100, I'm enjoying staying in and spending time with my happy Magnolias.

I'm still working on the series and will add some more in the following days.

This is definitely not the scientific version of the Magnolia, but it's a fun one!!
