Daffodil Sketches - Pen and Ink

I had a chance to sketch some beautiful yellow daffodils that I bought from the store. These are done in pen and ink on Strathmore drawing paper. I haven't had time yet to add color - perhaps soon! I just loved seeing these in various stages of opening up. I practically itch to draw as spring comes around. So many flowers, buds, branches, and leaves - so little time! Getting a head start with some store-bought flowers will help prepare for when the flower beds and trees start blooming. Fingers-crossed that it will be soon! :)

Happy 1st Day of Spring!

It's officially springtime! You wouldn't know it here in Michigan as it was only near 20 degrees this morning. But the sun was shining brightly all day long and that made up for it.

I did a quick sketch, with pen and ink and some colored pencil, of a tiny, yellow crocus from my front yard. We have a nice little patch of them next to the driveway. Lovely harbingers of spring!
