I drew these using the Artrage app on the laptop. I'm actually rather impressed. I reckon they are not a bad effort. Quite how I get from here to a realistic picture I'm not sure, but this is only lesson 1 in the book.
I forgot to add this picture of snapdragon flowers to a previous post. They have survived or self-seeded from last year, and seem to have overwhelmed the fuschia which shares their pot.
The roses are looking good too.
