leaves

I am continually fascinated by leaves and their shapes, and how they grow.
These I doodled on the back of an envelope while talking on the phone:

When I got off the phone I decided to do them more justice by drawing the whole plant, and its environs:

It is a baby split-leaf philodendron. I am hoping it will grow up to take over the entire kitchen :)

hallo, cupcake!

Because "Hello" is probably trademarked :)

This was an experiment with using acrylics more like watercolors. The result makes me laugh...and I'm dedicating it to my friend Christina, maker of cupcakes!

concerts

This weekend I found myself in an audience a lot. 

I got an opportunity to quick draw this harp, before the orchestra filed on & obscured my view...

and captured these cute little violinists in their Suzuki group class, as well as a bit of a large window, a tree outside and a car.

(the curling vine trying to wind around one of them is actually another drawing showing through from the previous page)

turnip

and other assorted fruit and vegetable forms.
