Twig Fantasy

 

One of my favorite thing to do:  drawing imaginary plants.  Occasionally I study an actual twig brought back from a nature walk, but mostly I prefer making my own version of things.

A bird collage.

It is such fun to go through bits of papers and choose the ones that have to go together.

Fun with Feathers

Pen and ink and watercolor on paper

A drawing from a few years ago when I was going through a pen and ink phase.  (One of many over the years.  I do love the feel and sound of the pen scratching on the paper.)
