Strelitzia


This morning, I finished number 1 in Red Parka Diaries' drawing challenge: draw what's on the desk in front of you. I suppose I could have drawn what was in front of me before I actively put something there that I wanted to draw, but since I made this challenge about drawing, whatever the excuse, I'm okay with bending the rules. I drew, didn't I? ;)

Here's what I did for number 2 and number 9, and I'm working on number 7, my morning coffee - almost as we speak :)

What are you up to? Any challenges?

  1. Yes, you sure did draw! And the result is gorgeous! I'm very curious to see the drawing of your morning coffee too. Sorry, didn't mean to give you any pressure here :)

  2. I love this, it's absolutely gorgeous! My mum has a bird of paradise plant in her yard and we always grew up with these in the house so I love this amazing flower. You did a wonderful job of this drawing. I like your words too :) I'm doing the challenge too but haven't blogged about it yet. Maybe next week...

  3. This is a wonderful drawing/painting of your Bird of Paradise! wow I love it!I am not really doing too many things these days except working the ugly day job, heh heh:) oh well it keeps me stocked with paper and paints, doesn't it? I was doing quite a bit of swapping with ATCs and zines on swap-bot but I got in over my head and pulled out of some swaps. I want to do so much but there is only so many hours in a day. I have to choose wisely. I think I am going to try a post card challenge for next month. But haven't decided. If you're interested you can see it here http://inspiration-avenue-team.blogspot.com/2012/04/ps-postcard-swap.html ( I hope its okay I put the link in your comments)
