Doodling and artichokes

We have had our last class of the year and the holiday homework is artichokes. With the whole summer ahead I feel no pressure and artichokes are casual at present, one drawn in pencil, three in watercolour with no drawing, one mad splashing colour about in what could be called a loose style or could be called messy.  None of these will make it on to here, too public a space.  Next, an artichoke in ink.  
Meanwhile I am drawing Nectaroscordum siculum bulgaricum, one of my favourite plants, and Periwinkle (Vinca major).
It is good to have some time to experiment.

Goddess done

Flora is now complete.
At the art class Claire asks who has finished their Coming of Spring piece and I have to say that I need her to tell me if it is finished!  It is, just about.  The face has been the hardest part but a tweak here and a tweak there and she is done.  Spot the snail!
