The reason i think this is a summer challenge is that it was soo hot outside (96-101 not counting the humidity) that i sat inside the house at Margaret W's and drew her garden....gardens are Summer in the south...and she has a nice one...i used my view finder that i had cut the size of the moleskine page....no wait the SHAPE of the moleskine page...it was only 1 x1.5 inches or so ...i sited it out her window while i enjoyed the cool...then i spent the next FOUR hours drawing this pictureI know that seems incredible but time kind of folded in on itself...the first time i looked up it was 12:30...and then it was even later...four hours...i think its done what do you think? done in a large moleskine sketchbook with a series of 4-8B pencils...

Hi - These pencil drawings are so striking and unique - nice - and nice garden - I'm lucky to enjoy the garden for 4 months - urban gardening here - brick pavers and Boston ivy.
Oh drats...another "Magnificent Margaret Adventure" I missed out on! LOL :) Beautiful...lots of detail here...Bet it was fun! :)
great drawing, I especially like your lines! amazing:)
This is wonderful, Margaret! I wish I could focus like that for four hours!!!!!!!!
I think it's lovely! Looking at it (and your blog address;)) made me think of those garden quilts...
Awesome job, Maggie! I'm not surprised that it took that long to put in all that detail.
Love the verticle line technique-& thanks for the time reference -
Your sketches are fabulous! I also love your beads and quilts! I wonder if we're in any Yahoo groups together besides EDM? :) Marva
