    We have lady slippers blooming by our dock, but I’m too intimidated to draw them. I think we should have a group retreat here next year around Memorial Day when the lady slippers are in bloom so someone can do them justice.
    • This looks like paradise! Are you sitting out there drawing these beautiful lady slippers!

    • Where is this exactly? I have been working on a pink lady slipper. We have them here but only in a nature preserve though we have one that blooms on my property. Here is what I did thus far.
    • Wendy, that is just gorgeous! It’s at a little lake in the poconos that was turned into a family resort by a group of Quaker friends. They have all kinds of rules to keep it pristine and peaceful, so it’s almost like a nature preserve. If you type Lake Paupac Lodge, greentown, pa into mapquest, you can see where it is. Here’s a link to some info about the place. https://lakepaupacpoconos.wordpress.com And, no, I didn’t draw the lady slippers – I was too intimidated. But I’m probably going up again this weekend, so I may give it a try.

    • Wendy, did you use the sepia pencil on the right side of the flower?
