Zoom in on the plants

It is so lovely to meet up with fellow sketchers and spend an hour or so sketching together. This time, we all brought a plant to the party. Some healthier than others. There was even a money plant that originated as a cutting smuggled back to Ireland from California in a suitcase!

I drew in pen only, but then for the last few minutes, I took out my watercolours and started a new page in direct watercolour, maybe all inspired by Lapin in his interview with Rob Sketcherman on USkTalks!


' Language of flowers. They like it because no-one can hear. Or a poison bouquet to strike him down. Then walking slowly forward he read the letter again, murmuring here and there a word. Angry tulips with you darling manflower punish your cactus if you don’t please poor forgetmenot how I long violets to dear roses when we soon anemone meet all naughty nightstalk wife Martha’s perfume.'

'The greeneyed monster. (Earnestly.) You know how difficult it is. I needn’t tell you.
ZOE: (Flattered.) What the eye can’t see the heart can’t grieve for. (She pats him.) Come.
BLOOM: Laughing witch! The hand that rocks the cradle.
ZOE: Babby!'
