Bluebonnet Floral Notecards Set

  A greeting card pack all about bluebonnets and several companion wildflowers. For some of these, I digitally combined two different paintings of mine, like the coneflowers that now have bluebonnets inserted among them, and the same with the sunflowers. This is the fun of having painted each bluebonnet separately. They were originally used as design elements all the way around a coffee mug, at my father-in-law’s request . Since then I’ve used them in several projects. I keep thinking I’ve used them to their fullest by now and am ready to retire them but occasionally I get a new request that they are perfect for. My personal favorite is the single Indian Paintbrush with the single bluebonnet. Next fave would be the poppy and bluebonnet field I think. I looked up Indian paintbrush to see what its scientific name is and it is just as beautiful: Castilleja. CAST-i-YE-ha. Named for Domingo Castilleja, a 1700’s Spanish botany professor.
