Crayons and pencils...your first experiences of applying marks to paper...how much fun it was to see the colors you chose appear on paper. Nothing has changed. Grown up colored pencils continue the experience and the joy.

Hens and Chicks or Houseleeks?

The Latin name 'Sempervivum' means ever living and we know them as carefree and lowly garden plants, easy and fun to propagate and share with friends.   Mother nature has blessed them with a subtle tapestry-like beauty.  I took the photo in my garden last summer and enjoyed doing this 7 x 5 colored pencil painting in the cold of winter.
