Sketching



I adore sketching birds and flowers
spending long hours on the details.
Colored pencils give life,
and leafy backgrounds too.
A nice calm hobby
to pass the day.
Love to show
my friends
too !

Constance, congratulations on your first place win. I've always wanted to be able to draw/sketch but was not in the cards for me. Love the pic, is that one that you did?
