I've forgotten whose blog I found virtualsketchdate.blogspot.com/
on... but I decided to give it a try this month. If you look at the big version of the photo, there's a rope, tied in a knot, hanging in the fork of the tree... I just focused on that part of the photo.... It was fun to draw, not sure I like how my tree colors turned out.

  1. You must get yourself on over to my blog--I think you will get a big kick out of what you see there!

  2. Elaine, I like your extreme crop and your colors look wonderful to me. It is so interesting what different people are attracted to in the same reference. That rope is one of the first things I eliminated!

  4. The rope makes you wonder if there was a swing there at one time, or maybe kids swung out over a lake. Good job.
