Gaura Lindheimeri – Graphite on bristol 3″x6″
There are so many wonderful shapes in nature, and so many different types of plants and flowers. Yet someone comes along and names them!
When I saw this little beauty, with its own name tag, I just had to add it to my memory and sketch it. I find that once I have rendered something, it becomes a permanent element of myself. So I choose carefully what I render.
I seldom know why I choose something, it just speaks a need to be rendered.
Just like things need a name, they need to become a part of someone.

I am just thinking……..how we/two people can be looking at the same thing but how differently we see an object … leaf/flower.
I wish I could draw and make things come alive on the paper.
I love learning a new plant…especially one I see all the time but never met!
