Paint Party Friday - Rose of Sharon







Welcome to September and Paint Party Friday! This piece is based on a photo I took (complete with a bug), I believe it was a Rose of Sharon shrub. It's done on a greeting card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") in permanent markers, outlined with a fine point black marker.

This is great, Christine, I really like the flat colours against the white, it makes the drawing stand out. It's a sweet little bug.

Oh, I love your Rose of Sharon so much! This shrub is one of the most beautiful shrubs I have ever seen. I always love it to see them. There are five of these shrubs in front of the building where I work and they make me happy each morning when I pass them.

Maybe I should just sketch them!
