Slowly Moving Ahead

My progress on my Apostle birds piece is slowly coming along....an extra little bird as been added. I have begun working on the rocks and creeper in the piece. I am taking my time with it as I want to get it as close to what's going on in my head as possible.
Even though I am loving it, I really felt the need to have a little rest and work on something a little brighter.....and what could be better to brighten your day than a gorgeous rose....
I actually get a meditative benefit from working on these roses. I adore all the gradual shading and layers and the effort to try and achieve their delicate nature with a coloured pencil.
On the weekend I snapped the bark on these gnarled trees for reference.....I am crazy for a bit of tree trunk lol!

I wish you a creative day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    You echidna circle is a beautiful composition, and I love that it is a personal memory. You sure are versatile : next we have a gorgeous pink rose. I do love to see your work - it is all so lovely. xx
