February's drawing theme is Flora and Fauna. Welcome,
February!
Alternative surfaces. They are everywhere. My stone, seed pod, stick habit is raging now that I live on a tropical volcanic island. You should see the stones, sticks, and seeds! Ahhhh!! I can't get enough.
Anyhow, once I get over my astonishment at the object, sometimes I'll paint it.
Here are some of the bits of the flora and fauna I've painted... or painted on so far.
