Diva Challenge #186 - Leaves, Leaves, Leaves
The leaves I have chosen for this challenge are very special to me. They are from an indoor Ficus tree and my long suffering Philodendron plant. Both came from the love of my life and I have managed to keep them alive since he died. I normally manage to kill most plants I try to grow so I was amazed that these have survived 2 moves and almost 6 years now. I was going to head up to the mountains to take some pictures and gather a few leaves, but unfortunately I have been under the weather. So I used these two. I was just getting the feel of tangling them when my pen apparently took over and finished for me. It took me a luxurious complete day to do this one in my sketchbook, so it's not on a tile until I start it again. But my son agreed with me that I should just submit this one and I do kind of like it, so here are my leaves!

ReplyDeleteLove your Tile, LezliB. I wish my pen were as magic as is yours. Your drawing turned out beautifully. Wonderful Pattern selections, and the shading and color polish it nicely. Well done.

ReplyDeleteYour leaves are wonderful. Love your story about the ficus and philodendron. Those are the only two houseplants I've managed to keep alive, too. The philodendron is almost 30 years old. The ficus, over 20 so...they must be pretty foolproof plants.
ReplyDeleteLove the patterns you chose! Finery is such a good, "leafy" pattern, and it's perfect here. Well done
