Poppies are among my favorite flowers---vibrant AND delicate. Great swaths of "bread poppies" garnish our garden. We harvest seeds for lemon-seed cake and poppy-seed rolls. (No, we don't harvest that other stuff.) They reseed generously and we have beautiful crops of red and purple flowers each year. I've been working on this colored pencil drawing for the past week. Enclosed are some images of the progress over that time.

This is a cheerful little owl that I drew and printed on some cards for gifts to friends. Micron pen and Prismacolor markers.

This is a drawing of the plant: Bromeliad regalia done with Copic markers and colored pencils.
