There were roses…

“Still more labyrinthine buds the rose.” Robert Browning

A couple of my rose sketches from Sunday:

This one was a quick sketch focusing on negative space:

while this was a more detailed drawing:
sketch of rose and leaves

Labyrinthine indeed. It is easy to lose your way in those furls of petals. Not the easiest of things to draw but very pretty.

Not at all easy, much easier with my camera on walks yesterday and today...roses, my mom’s favorite in her day, grew up with big rose garden she tended in our garden at home.
Beautiful drawings BF.

Love the lepord on the right. He looks like he’d finish drinking and the leap on his prey.
Wonderful painting/sketch?

Lizzi! You’re back! Is this a flying visit to the land of blog or will you be becoming a regular commuter again?

I have missed your posts and art.

I hope all is well with you again.
