Painting is a 2D art and generally fixed and eternal (not changes with time) while flower arrangement is a 3D art and usually a short life. I collected many wild plants and put them on my sketch books together with my sketches. I did it almost every Sunday from July to December in 2019. I counted the sketch books I made in this way and found that they were 15 books, quite an achievement as a Sunday painter. Plants collected and then put and pressed on sketch book paper and fixed with adhesive tapes. They show some beauty and quite often better than my sketches (which I do not show here). Some are silhouette like effect after the colors changed to black. Some remain the original colors well even after several months have passed. Some were alraedy well dried when collected. They show beauty - more structural or compositional beauty than colorful ones as the colors do little render their beauty although some reserved colors do render reserved beauty. Plus some dried plants keep fragrance, especially Asteraceae family.
