    Susanlora, this bud still has that fuzzy, “jacket” splitting open, but still around it.

      I had an obsession for dahlias ( back there when the snow wasn’t covering everything!) I am developing a Near and Far lesson page on them. Perhaps one of the scale drawings will make it into the discussion tomorrow night…

      I’m amazed about that too. My experience with erasing coloured pencil is dismal and messy. Is there some tricks that I don’t know about?? Could you share…

      Vern, your work is sooooo clean! It has such a crispness and coolness to it, it feels pure and beautiful! I love it! ( Especially that crazy twig on the left corner!)

      Beautiful drawings Carol. They are all wonderful but I really love the one on the bottom left. It’s the added interest of the different aspects and colors. Curious that there are no other comments. I wonder how that happens sometimes.

        Are you having trouble posting on the board ?? I am having to send my pics to Vern and she posts on the media gallery. I’m wondering if I’m the only one ??

      Very cool. Nice colors. Weird but wonderful seed pods.

      Really interesting to see the beginning stages of this drawing and that you started by completing the open fruit first.

      Gorgeous. The bark looks so shimmery and realistic.

      Wow, so wonderful to see this. Beautiful combination of sizes and interesting parts to look at all over the page. My year long challenge is still in my imagination (ha ha).
