I’ll document its emerging leaves and multiple blossoms over the next six weeks. I’m going to use different media and chose pen and ink for this first image in order to portray detail I often miss with other media.

Amaryllis bulbs show up in markets during December in the United States and every year I buy one. I used to buy them for all my relatives until I realized they don’t share my enthusiasm for this wonderful piece of botanica.

I’m trying a small Qor brand travel set of paints, 12 different pigments in a small metal case. The colors are really saturated and spring to life when water is applied to them, they have tremendous flow. This was painted at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden en plein air.

Aloe Vera, Pastel on Paper, 14×11″, 2018, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
This plant is found at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. I’ll add the the botanic information as soon as I can, probably after a trip to the Garden itself. I was attracted by the red-yellow blooms supported on purple stalks, cradled in a wreath of green-aqua-magenta-alizarin foliage. What’s not to love?

Pumpkinseed, watercolor, 2018, 6×8″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
These North American natives are commonly called Pumpkinseeds because of the black flap at the edge of their gills.Lepomis gibbosus is included in the common sunfish family (Centrarchidae). They can grow quite large for a smallish fish (i.e. over 9″) but most that I’ve seen are from 4-6″. They’re the most colorful fish that is found in a warm water lake or pond. Bass and crappie are some of their fishy relatives.
