On Sunday
I did some drawing in the morning, and then later in the afternoon I drew this:
the jade plant
on my back patio.
This is one of several I have, all from cuttings from my dear aunt Mimi's huge plant.
It's sweet to have plants that remind you of people you love.
I drew it through the dark screen on the back sliding patio door.
The details I like the most are the red tips on the green leaves;
and the blue paint encrusted glass table top
from a couple of years ago
summer painting of fabric on gelatin molds
for an art quilt I was making.
The wicker chair was fun to draw too.
I'm not positive about the perspective
but I guess it works.
You tell me!
Have a productive
fun
creative
week

Fun sketch Lynn. When I first looked at a thumbnail size picture of it I thought the plant was in a basket. When I made the picture bigger I could see the chair. HCM.

ReplyDeleteThe green jade plant is beautiful and I am like you and love thinking about love ones when I see a plant.
Thank you for visiting my blog. When I see you Lynn, I just want to reach out and give you a hug. You are one of those special people in the blog world!!!
Perspective? I am not sure about the wicker chair.
But the plant is perfect.
I have a huge jade plant in Wis that has survived for so many years I have to keep cutting it back. My neighbor keeps it watered all winter, once a month.

This is simply adorable. I love this cactus. You draw SO well, as always, I'm totally impressed. WOW, is it still Monday? I'm not too late, then.
ReplyDeleteLovely One ! I have several plants that remind me of my Bubbie, my grandmother. She had such a green thumb for house plants. I know I got that from her.
ReplyDeleteLove the watercolor !
Happy Tuesday !
The colours and composition are all fantabulous.
ReplyDeletePlants definitely remind me of people! Lovely vibrant sketch Lynn!
