Backyard Sketches
Apparently, rainy days and Mondays aren't the only reason to sketch! Who knew? There was a perfectly good sun in the sky this afternoon, and I sat directly in its rays and exercised the pencil.
There was an art fair in Library Square in Kenosha today, so I was inspired after having a stroll around the place.
My little Japanese Maple holds onto its seeds for a very long time. All the other maples have thrown theirs down (and there are many maples trees growing in unexpected places as a result). Not this guy...oh no, he's going to wave them around in my face for a while. He might even try a play fake, but I'm ready for him. I won't be jumping for the rake until I see the seed hit the ground.
Thanks for stopping by!

love the leaf and seed pod

I love all these!!
Love all three too! The leaf and branch are lovely and I love the clean lines in the first one. A Japanese maple... my dream!
Love the seed pod in particular. I also wanted to say I love the drawings and design of your blog banner - very nice!
I've been struggling with a seedpod drawing for two days now. I think I'll stop fussing with color and settle for the pencil, or ink. I love yours!
Great job....love the intricacy of the leaf!
Great sketches. You do good work in pencil as well as what I see in your banner too.
Very nice, don't know that I could choose a favorite, I like them all!
