selected sketches from march

i thought that all of my crocus had been destroyed by the dogs this year but today i found a few just barely poking their tips up. as you can see, they haven't even outgrown the mulch yet. if they remain lucky, i might even see some flowers . . .



i've managed to meet my sketching goals this month.
the The Sketchbook Challenge for march was "flowers".

a quick sketch from memory

of my own hibiscus flowers.

   ink and colored pencil sketched (from

   within the recesses of my head) as a sort of

   fantasy flower.

  i think it looks related to a flamingo . . .









also a quick sketch of  snowdrops from a

botanical book.





a daisy type flower (out of my head) using pen & watercolors.













a bird of paradise blossom. quick sketch from a botanical

book.






another fantasy flower using pencil.












recent gifts include:
  • finding those tiny crocus struggling towards some spring sunshine
  • the anticipation and enjoyment of a simple soup and crusty bread supper
  • getting out and using the colored pencils and the watercolors

  5. Lovely sketches. My sister has been exploring watercolors and I am lucky enough to have one of her pieces. Such a ephemeral effect.
