Sara, you are such a poet! I love reading the comments on your drawings. Also beautiful drawing the colors are very etherial. My one comment would be to add some more elements to the page. It seems a bit weighted to the bottom. Love that you used the seeds for your O’s!

Katy, I’m not a poet at all. Those are lyrics to Dancing in the Moonlight, one of the best feel good songs ever! I also drew it on the day of a full moon. Its not important, just satisfying.

Thanks for that, @sam-mcwilliams! Eased my election day jitters.

I enlarged the kernels on the profile of the cob. I’m not sure it is enough.

Hi Pat- this image cuts off part of your cob, but it looks great this way too. It has a very contemporary look to it. You did a wonderful job with this drawing!!!!!

Hi Doug, I thought I would forward my husband’s description of my art since you mentioned its moderne feeling: The stark realism of Pati’s art belies the transcendent forms.

Beautiful work, I really enjoyed reading your hubby’s interpretation too, just lovely

Last call of Fall Wendy Kleinman

Hi Wendy- this is a great page! I particularly love the highlight on the curved section of bark on the right! You have also really captured the leaves too. They really have that look of disintegration after they have been on the ground after a rain. Great job!

“Last call” indeed. I agree with Doug. I I feel the withering! So fragile. And nice observation on the twig’s growth patterns and winter buds

Beautiful and inspiring.

Yes, I can really feel the paper like disintegrating quality of those late fall leaves. A perfect capture of a story of the season

Appreciate the input from everyone, it helps me a lot. I hope we have a future class drawing lichen. I tried to show it lifting off the wood with slightly curled up edges but I didn’t quite capture what I was aiming for.

(Shh, don’t tell anyone yet…We are going do lichen in Feb) 🙂 Wendy you are really killing it! That unraveling bark is fantastic. You inspire me. 🙂
