WIPs - Beetle Paisley & Other Florals

Spent most of last night painting and drawing. Current beetle paisley done in "Turkey Red" color scheme popular in 1890's Europe:


And currently I'm working out other possible florals to use with this color scheme:



I have a self-imposed deadline for these and some more designs by this Sunday for a possible collaborative project for a June show. And thankfully I can design these things pretty fast (thanks to my college Print Design prof Michael Olszewski). The above florals are influenced by 18th-century designer Richard Hofmann's decorative florals.
