some sketchbook pages



I don't have much to show for the last couple of months except a handful of sketchbook pages.

In the garden we have 9 pineapples slowly ripening, I tried a few drawings this morning (some of the leaves are bright red amazing but I think it's a sign that the soil is lacking in something!).




Also I've done a drawing of the mango tree that's thriving (touch wood) the other one we planted keeps having it's new leaves chewed off - I think by possums. I might have to try a colour drawing next time as the new leaves are a suprising gorgeous copper colour that transforms to lime green and then the familiar dark green.
