It was supposed to be a quick early morning walk down the dusty lane for the dogs, but I got distracted...it doesn't take much! The wild flowers caught my attention growing in the grass and tumbling over walls.
I took a few home with me to draw, these were lovely with their little faces turned up to the sun.
There seemed to be a pink and purple theme going on, nature's colour scheme?
This is the view you get as you walk down the lane, one of my favourites, that I've sketched and painted many times. It used to be the view from my bathroom window but someone built a house nextdoor and that was that :(

Your world is gorgeous . . . your wildflower sketches exquisite!!
Your dusty lane holds many riches. I especially love the pink convolvulus sketch. Maybe you should record all of the island's wild flowers in a special journal. Beautiful work, Cathy. x
Your sketches are so delicate and beautiful. Too bad about the loss of that wonderful view.
Amazing view! Your sketches capture the flowers very well!
Love the morning glory-type flower sketch.
Beautiful! I like how you captured just enough on your drawing pad to lock the beauty of nature. =)
Just lovely (and one of my favourite colour schemes!). More please!

Beautiful Cathy
Lovely delicate drawings.
If only I could draw/paint the plants I see on my walks. But your delicate creations more than make up for my lack of ability!!
So beautiful! Just breathtaking.
Beautiful sketches and what a wonderful view!!
Wow, you live in a beautiful place! And your new sketches are beautiful, too.
These are beautiful drawings Cathy, as are the photos.
