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.

“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

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!

Nice page! I agree with Sam on the holly texture and I love the “pillows” you create between the veins.

As for your drawing…congrats on trying the wax paper embosser trick. I have yet to try it. You are inspiring me on that one too! It seems to work quite nicely!

Yes, lovely testimony. I cherish my Mom’s white climbing rose, it was her mother’s. And she loved it. I’ve never drawn it. But you have inspired me. Next June when it blooms.

Shadow much better. You could even extend it out to the right a bit more. Near the base and very gently.

I agree with Sam. At this point it would be hard to go back and pickup the highlights. Next drawing try what Wendy suggests and draw a single petal on the side of the page as practice to work out the values and colors.

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!

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!!!!!

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

Last call of Fall

What a lovely testimony to your parents.

This would be a beautiful textile print

I sent these out via text messages- cheaper and faster!
