I was fascinated by the oleanders clinging to the rocks down by the river; the twisting roots as they cling on tight seem to merge into the trunk and branches and until it’s hard to tell where the roots stop and the branches start! And just to prove, especially to my lovely ‘mentor’, that I DO get outside and draw and not just work from my photos, here I am in action drawing this very oleander (photo thanks to my husband who was dispatched off further up the river to give me some peace π
She’s got her concentration hat on π

What a lovely picture. I can almost feel the texture. You’re certainly making good use of your new pencils. It would make a good oil with its almost Impresionist feel.
