Medinilla magnifica


This is one of my first botanical illustrations, done in graphite after a plant here at the Botanical Gardens in Washington.

I just had a "conversation" through the Relay operator system (what the deaf use to conduct telephone communications). At first I thought I was speaking to an automated machine but then realized it was a real person reading off the deaf caller's message. Each interaction ended with "Go Ahead" and then I had to respond slowly and finish with "Go Ahead".

The caller even wrote in things like "laugh" or umm" or "smile." For instance:

Me: Please send me a detailed email inquiry to 'kathleen@goldleafstudios.com', that's 'Kathleen' spelled with a 'K' and 'Goldleafstudios' all one word. Go Ahead.

Caller (read to me in a stone-cold cyborg voice): Uh, umm. Ok, great. I will do that. Smile. My name is Cathy, spelled with a 'C'. Laugh. Go Ahead.

Go ahead.
