Posers

I keep walking past a cluster of Aloe vera plants on my way to the mailbox and have been meaning to draw their very cool shape. They are plants that always seem to be posing. I did this quick sketch when I got home. Simple ... but that's the kind of plant they are.

  3. Joan, you do beautiful work. You do such a nice job with all of the mediums you use that I don't think you should limit yourself to just one. Really great stuff!

  7. Thanks Tracy. We have a bunch of different plants that line our driveway. We have them because they're good for burns ... just rub it on a burn and voila!
