Wrinkles

My hand gets very WRINKLED working in the garden!

Primitive Weevil

Primitive Weevil for Illustrative Friday's word PRIMITIVE. This weevil lives in forests in tropical regions so I put her in a picture of a tree in Santa Barbara painted by my mother (which I altered!).

I like to draw insects. They are endlessly fascinating.

Homage to the Orchid

Orchids in a vase, pen & ink & marker (with some additions in Corel Painter and Photoshop). Done for Illustration Friday's word "Homage."

Pet Peeve

Toothpaste with the lid left off for Illustration Friday's subject "Pet Peeve. "

Heavy Potted Plant

There is a potted plant in the Jacaranda tree-lined road - a gift for Easter. It looks like it's heavy!

This is a stretch for the Illustration Friday word "heavy," but was the only image that emerged.

Garden

"Garden" illustration for Illustration Friday (which is where I should be on this glorious sunny day instead of inside working on my computer).

Hawaiian Happy Face spiders really do look like that!
