One of my new years resolutions is to keep more plants (alive). The one on the first drawing is living with us for two months now and he still looks happy, so that's a start.
I am also discovering the therapeutic effect of drawing plants. Because I am still often tired from the remains of our Big Move, I have to rest a lot and lying on the sofa it is very calming to make a simple sketch of a plant, without any other purpose than just observing and drawing.
