New to the group and wondering if there are any visual artists at this 'Photography and Art' forum or any other forum here at the UBC site? Painters, sketchers, plein air artists, scientific illustrators, botanical artists, doodlers, dabblers??? I will begin the topic by intoducing myself as a botanical artists with a passion for working outdoors, in situ. Here is a pen and ink + watercolor of a montauk daisy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46467728@N00/197287569/ Hmm, I tried to attach the image but it didnt work. If there are other artists here, introduce yourselves or share some of your floral or botanical themed work, if there are enough of us we could perhaps ask for a trial forum dedicated to art! Cynthia
