The reason I chose this view is twofold: 1) in this aerial view the cone looks like a flower 2) the spiral aspects of a pine cone are too advanced for me at this time. Maybe in another year things will be different……….

Ah it’s just lovely, Jody. What an inspiring artist you are. Your writing looks fantastic. Makes me miss my beloved Coast Live Oaks.

Little boat! Okay I have to be a plant nerd here: Orchidaceae is the family. Do you know what the species is? Somebody got a very special bday card.

Nice observation on the “little boat”! I’d like to see just a few more areas of darker darks to really make it pop. More sense of a directional light. I like the way you have used the front-on angle. Many times that angle can seem static, but here it works. I think because the center is so interesting.
-
Although I find the rhythms of the outer petals/sepals charming. I might make them a bit less “busy”. Maybe a watercolor wash. Especially near the center. This would accentuate that middle part of the flower. Again keep the directional light in mind. And think of overlaps. BTW, I like the bits of warm color you have incorporated in those outer…[Read more]

Thanks Sam! Yes, I was wondering the same thing, it seems a bit abrupt at the top there. Thanks for mentioning that.

Thanks so much @sam-mcwilliams for the positive feedback and the helpful tip. I added a slight bit of light ochre here and there and it’s just what it needed to bring it to life a bit more. Thanks! 🙂

Fantastic! Especially that cross section. And I find myself wanting the skin of the whole fruit to read as smooth/shiny. Should it? Then maybe I’d smooth out those pencil line marks in the reds of the whole fruit.

BIscuit and shadow look good to me. 🙂 That sand dollar is stunning. You captured it so well and with such fine detail. I think you could add a bit of warm colours in just a few places, maybe a touch of light ochre or some such applied so lightly. You really nailed the feel of it, Jill. Lovely.

Awesome start, of course. We’ll follow along excitedly to see how your plan goes. I already wonder if you’ll need something sneaking out in the background behind that top cone…

You are a gem, Sara. I think a book of these will definitely need to be published.
