Paint Party Friday - Peeking Through

I took this photo of this coneflower peeking through a fence recently and decided to sketch it in watcolour pencil and fine point marker on an index card. The coneflowers are blooming everywhere at this time of year.  Happy Paint Party Friday!



Here's my photo:
