garden sketches

today is going to be a hot one here..

in the mitten state...

we will be sweating the whole week

from what I hear...

so I won't be outside...

but I did get a couple of sketches done

over the weekend... 

giglio translates to lily in Italian

and gigli is plural... 

lilies

Lilium Candidum

of all the flowers in my garden

I of course chose to sketch

the lilies...

they represent so much...

Gigli

hope, renewal, birth and also death..

the stylized version of the lily is the 

Fleur De Lys in French and translates to Italian as giglio..

for the sketches, I used Prismacolors and made simple line drawings and then enhanced them with walnut ink using a
brush..

just for fun... 

hope you are taking time to do things, 
just for fun too...


ciao, ciao!
