April Botanical Art Challenge


This month, Jill has suggested we use something red and native as our art work for the monthly challenge. I sketch so my "red" isn't really red, but the subject matter is definitely red, in it's true nature form.

I sketched a clump of red delicious apples with leaves as it hangs on a branch. Then I sketched a red strawberry. Both of these grow naturally here in the Treasure Valley of Idaho. Boise sits in a high desert plateau surrounded by tall mountain ranges that protect it from extreme weather.

Love the restraint exhibited in the placement of red on the grahite sketch.
