Day 8. Dutchmen's Breeches. Another spring ephemeral. I'm just crazy about these plants, which means the bar is rather high when it comes to capturing them in ink, and I'm not sure I'm done with this drawing yet. They do look like little pairs of p
Day 7 = one week in the bag! Round-lobed hepatica. Another in the spring ephemeral series. This is also known as "liverleaf," because once someone thought the leaves were liver-shaped, which must have meant they were good for the liver. T

Day 3, Red Trillium. 2nd of the spring ephemerals. Everything about these comes in 3s, so of course I had to draw a group of 3 too. Did you know that these are also called Stinking Benjamins and Wet Dog Wakerobins? Apparently they smell bad. I have
Day 2 of the April Plant Drawing Challenge! Trout lily, a spring ephemeral of the Northeastern woods. Their leaves are shaped and patterned kind of like trout! I might just commit to an all-spring-ephemeral first week because these are all so cool,

Here we go! My first drawing of (hopefully) a month of Northeastern plants. I chose to start with the Marsh Marigold because it’s one of the earliest wild bloomers around here. Why don’t you join me for the #aprilplantdrawingchallenge ? P
