Sunday Sketches

I'M BACK!

Wedding and childcare now history, I can pick up my brush once again!

One of my favorite flower is gracing the landscape these days; the foxglove or also called by its formal name, digitalis. I have taken somewhat of a kinship to this beauty in that I refer to the spots as freckles. Between the freckles and wonderful shapes, I continue to paint several renditions of this charming flower. Today it is watercolor and ink.



I feel an oil painting coming on......

I Love My Weeds!

As they say, one person's weed is another person's treasure.

I think?

In this case the Foxglove, also know as Digitalis, is a weed and many people pull them up. On the other hand, I have seen these flowers FOR SALE at garden stores.

I love them! But rather than buy the flower, I transplanted the plant from the woods to my garden and the patch is growing like a weed (pun intended!). Yes, I might have to pull some in the future, but for now I am enjoying this lovely weed.




I call the spots inside freckles :)


Foxgoves will be the subject matter for Sunday Sketches.

Watch for it.
