Leaf of the Day.. currently bee of the week
An almost daily drawing of one kind or another. There is no particular plan, just a leaf or something interesting I encounter as I go along. Unless otherwise stated they are drawn from life. The images are quite low definition and do lose much subtle shading. Please contact me if you would like to see a better quality image, or if I get something worng. All drawings and paintings copyright protected.
