Wanted to share with you some of the work I do, in an even narrower niche than botanical painting. Hand-coloring rare, antique, botanical prints & engravings. I am posting them to a blog, working on that site for months. But this, one of my favorties, can be viewed at Flicker: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cynthiapadilla/4497556054/ Would this be a topic of lecture/workshop/demo/trunk show exhbition interest at a conference? Just musing....
