Zentangle Botanical Illustrations, 81/2 x 11, Pen on paper

I just bought a new sketchbook and pen set. I thought I would try a Zentangle type drawing. Here's what I've come up with so far. They are done totally from my imagination. Normally I only paint from what I can see so this was new to me. I'm quite pleased with the results.

Botanical Watercolour

Here's a botanical painting I did in PEI. I don't know what plant it is (lady's slipper?). Please lead a comment if you can identify. My little forest was abundant with these.

Red Maple Leaf Botanical




I love gathering autumn leaves, pine cones, chestnuts, etc. Autumn is an amazing time of year. Suddenly the sky turns silver and the ground becomes a mosaic of gold, copper, reds, yellows, and all earthy ochres. If I take a stroll under the trees I come out with great bunches of colourful leaves, and other  such paintable treasures.
