Sunday Sketches - Contest


Welcome to Alexandra's Sunday Sketches. This piece is my contest entry logo idea done on textured green cardstock (8 1/2" x 11") in acrylic.  I like painting trees so this idea came together very quickly.  Scones with jam and clotted cream is my English item!

Lovely entry, good luck with the contest - I can see trees outside my window, but no scones - what a shame! Happy Sunday, hugs, Valerie

Now wouldn't that be something if trees grew scones with cream and jam! You paint trees beautifully.
Happy Sunday and I wish you well with the logo.

I had scones with clotted cream on one of my visits to England. I hadn't thought about that until I saw your sketch. Good idea to represent England.
