Pen and ink and watercolor crayons and pencils
These hibiscus (what is the plural of "hibiscus"? Hibisci?) grow and grow and grow down my driveway. If I am not attentive to pruning, they would cover the side of my house and my kitchen window. But I do enjoy their blooms and they seem to thrive in this hot and humid tropical climate.
I am new to watercolors and am having a great time experimenting with pencils and crayons. For this Challenge I worked on actual 140# watercolor paper which I liked much better than the sketch book I had been using. I may have to switch and then bind all the drawings together some way later. Or who knows....I might just have to break down and join the moleskine watercolor community.

Wonderful job- you really captured the gorgeousness of that lovely hibiscus- and you inspired me to get ouside and paint the garden out here- well done! Keep up the great work!
Beautiful job , Kay. You've managed to really capture the light coming through the transparency of the petals, and the brightness of the leaves. Keep it up!
