Calends of April
Three California poppies: one fully open, one opening, one a bud still. The blossoms are four petals, which flat when fully open, with a cluster of stamen in the center. The leaves are small, narrow, and abundant. California poppies have golden-orange blossoms and light green leaves and stems, but this simple sketch is black and white, with sketchy white lines on a solid black background.

Calends of April

I’m going to challenge myself to post a sketch each day this month. Starting with the California poppy, which is very dear to my heart. This one’s going on my Links page to decorate the Nature section.
