Another Poinsettia...


A few years ago, I sketched and posted about, my working on a poinsettia with colored pencils, a favorite holiday plant in red as you can see here:



A few days ago, I thought I'd do a quick, one hour, sketch and color in another poinsettia plant. This time making it with white bracts...

Today, early, we will once again head for the polling booth to re-vote. Our mayoral ballot was too close to call a winner, so the two of us will head out and recast our ballot. There were six candidates in November, but only two remain on the ticket. I hope my vote will help with electing the new runner!! We need 'new blood' in the city instead of the old school mayor we have had far too long.

  2. Both the old and the new poinsettia sketches are beautiful. Ginny is right, those would look good on a Christmas card. Of course since you don't send them I would suggest only making one.

  7. I wish I could just decide that I want to draw a poinsettia and color it white and be able to do it. It is beautiful. We just voted Army route he had been mayor for 40 years he was mayor when I came here in 1984 and is still the mayor he will be gone soon

    1. Voting a 2nd time is a hassle since only a few places are open for run-off elections.

  10. That is one way to keep poinsettias year round. I have seen the white ones before and like the contrast.

    1. Thanks...I erase a lot too, but usually, it's shading that works.

  17. Thank you for sharing that. Wow! It would take me days to even try something like that, and it wouldn't be worth showing except for a laugh.
