Wilkweed ~ "Blowin' in the Wind" Version 4

I have a short workday on Wednesdays, so last Wednesday afternoon I got the sudden urge to work on another Milkweed painting! I tried to take into considerations suggestions that I received here on my blog and on some art forums I belong to. This one is quite a bit darker, and I tried to incorporate a lot of texture. I wasn't as successful with the Epsom salts this time, and had to get out the handy-dandy Proxa -brush to lightly scrub back to white for some of the seed fluff. I finished this up yesterday morning.
