Hi Maureen, Great fuzzy texture! Not an easy thing to accomplish! And I really like the touches of color. Compositionally, I’d add something to the bottom left. The plant is leading my eye off the page. Perhaps just some more text. Or a detail of the leaf or flower.
@katylyness nice to hear from you! Yes, I want to add the flowers next summer on the left side. The leaves are still so darn pretty that I had to give it a try even though it’s past its summer glory!
@sam-mcwilliams I like how the name lamb’s ears is close to the botanical family name lamiaceae! Thanks for the prompt to brush up on my botany terms with the word “calyx” in the tomato drawing! I had forgotten its meaning, yes it’s part of the sepals, not a cut. My daughter in law liked the tomato drawing so I added leaves, albeit a little overboard but it was a fun process! For some reason I couldn’t tag your name in the tomato comments but it’s working fine here… go figure!

Yes! Way to capture that fuzzy texture, Maureen. And that silvery bluey green.
