Apricots

Posting one more nature study in watercolours today.

Its a couple of apricots on a branch. The book that I used as a photo reference says that apricots are best eaten fresh and warm off the branch...isn't that a great idea? I have eaten some fruits straight off the branch  and it is a lot of fun....I've had grapes, mulberries, guavas, apples and mangoes..(yum!), but not apricots. I wonder what part of the world apricots grow in..

Lily of the Valley

I did this sketch  a few days ago using a picture as a reference....did not know the name of the flower at that time. Since then, I've discovered that it is called 'Lily of the Valley'. Here it is

Normally, I'm a bit lazy in posting my work to my blog ... but this week, Ms Dion Dior has provided a fine incentive in the form of a chance to win a spot in one of her classes..So, as far as possible, I will try and upload one sketch everyday to her Friday Sketches  I have also shared this sketch on my facebook page here

I think I will add a sentiment below it and make a special card for someone.
