Sunday Smiles and SITAR - Sage Leaves

 


Sage Leaves


I have an interesting fact on Sage leaves and their mosquito blocking properties for you today.  For SITAR I painted a sprig of sage leaves for you (ACEO 2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil, outlined with an acrylic marker.

Enjoy the Civic holiday long weekend in Ontario.

  2. I never knew sage leaves carried their own natural mosquito shield -- that’s fascinating.
    Your painting is beautiful as always.
