    Info found “Laguna patersonia, commonly known as the pyramid tree, Norfolk Island hibiscus, Queensland white oak, sally wood,[2] or simply as White Oak on Norfolk Island.[3] It is however not a true Hibiscus, but does belong to the same plant family, Malvaceae”.

    Thank you so much! I’d love to figure out what kind of tree it came from but think that may be impossible.

      This is another tree I can’t find the name of, but I’m trying. My embossing feels too heavy handed, but the deed is done.

      I’ve sent out an email to a gardener here in south Spain for the name of this tough, dusty tree/bush growing right next to the beach. I’m going to try drawing this again 🙂

      I like how you captured the big “open mouth “, for lack of the term, and the complex pattern!

      Carol, I love how you showed the flower in so many stages. It’s a beautiful branch!

      I agree with Carol. Such lovely color and soft, interesting shadows!

        Thanks so much, Vern! I looked back at the webinar to make sure I was hitting the right places with dark sepia. 🙂

          This is gorgeous! The color is great and petals feel so gently ruffled!

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

              Mountain Laurel! I saw this on my walking route and was wondering what it was. Shape of its flower buds are so cute! I was not brave enough to try drawing it. The cluster of flowers are overwhelming to me. Lovely drawing you did!
