Foxglove

Comments

Lovely sketch, quite original to capture them as they finish with just a few flowers at the top.

Mine are almost gone too, Margaret. Because of the rainy days, I didn't have the time to draw them! You did well on this: beautiful.

This popped off the page at me Margaret! Simple and lovely. I think it would look great with a dash of colour?

Thank you Yoko. Thank you Tessa - good idea - I did do another one with a wee bit of colour - may get it posted too.
