I have been lucky to find many different colored ones on our plein air outings (lately a couple of plant nurseries). Those and banana leaf trees. I seem to find and do one or the other every week. I think the group is getting bored with my same thing every week. But I'm happy. Thanks for sharing the gardens you visit."JeanneG"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16398758813763335651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-90059666600541302712008-09-26T17:19:00.000+00:002008-09-26T17:19:00.000+00:00Thanks Belinda!Jenni - I'm also a huge fan of the ...Thanks Belinda!<BR/><BR/>Jenni - I'm also a huge fan of the London Plane. I've tried drawing them in the past and I'd like to get a lot better at them.<BR/><BR/>What a pity about the Pomegranate! I've never been to Hampton Court Palace although I could always do the river trip and make a day of it!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-11497179293285515282008-09-26T17:16:00.000+00:002008-09-26T17:16:00.000+00:00What a beautiful drawing.

Recently I have been "drawn" to the wonderful patterns and colours of tree bark. I think this might be my theme for the winter. I just love the bark of the London Plane. We have two magnificent specimens in the woodland gardens in Bushy Park. We visit Hampton Court Palace Gardens regularly, and until last year they had a large Pomegranate which grew masses of flowers and fruit. I was lucky enough to be given permission to pick a couple of sprays to paint. I was very upset this year to find it had been removed. It was growing against a wall in the rose garden and I guess they decided that it didn't fit in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-38592380137158471642008-09-26T14:26:00.000+00:002008-09-26T14:26:00.000+00:00Great post, beautiful gardens, and *GORGEOUS* draw...Great post, beautiful gardens, and *GORGEOUS* drawing!belindadelpesco.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062375277740529374noreply@blogger.com
