Sketch of the Week: Plants

This turned out to be "sketch plants that are not palm trees in Los Angeles" week, as seen in drawings I did. Palm trees are everywhere in this town, so I think I unconsciously sought out other trees and plants to draw for a change of pace:


Eucalyptus trees near my work



Mysterious tree with pods - does anyone know what this is???



 (Pumpkins are plants, too! This was sketched on Halloween.)

This car with plants is a "Car Garden" art installation at Santa Monica Museum of Art, and I noticed that there are different plants from when I sketched it a year ago.

  1. I'll have to start learning about some of the trees in my own neck of the woods :)

  2. I remember talking about this to you. Love the pumpkin patch sketch. I don't know what those mysterious pods are, but I too have seen them.
