Hi everyone!
I’m back at home,
it’s good to sleep in my own bed again 🙂
The weather in Helskinki has been okay,
no snow, no ice – yet.
I’ve even seen some sunshine, jihuuuu!
In Málaga I photographed trees…
Look how geometric they are 🙂
Geometric Friday
I tried to sketch a palm tree,
with ink and water…
Here’s a detail…
This is how it looks….
somehow I like this,
what do you think? Is black and white boring?
Paint Party Friday
Have a relaxing weekend!

There certainly are geometrics in all of nature and the palm trees are a beautiful example. I love your drawing as well. I probably prefer just the trunk because along with seeing it as a trunk, I can see many smiling faces in it. I love art that allows the observer to interpret from their own imagination. Thanks for stopping by my blog …

Nice photos! I love palms- Your watercolor sketch has some nice brushwork!
Kaunis puistokäytävä kuvassasi.Ja hieno tuo piirtämäsi palmu! Oikein hyvää joulun odotusta!
I like the tree trunk —you caught the essence of the texture well.
When I saw the small icon on Geometric Friday, I thought it was a tall, cylindrical glass vase, so was pleasantly surprised to see it was a painting.
Black and white can be dramatic. Without color, we are more likely to look at shapes and lines without regard to color.
As an artist, I tend to work with color more than B&W, but on some images B&W looks better than color.
Welcome back home….Love your renditions♪
Black is not boring at all! I think this is a great sketch. I love geometry. 🙂
It’s always good to be back home. I don’t think the black and white palm tree is boring at all- I love it!! Best wishes for a happy holiday, and happy PPF too!
Wonderful sketch….Glad you had a great holiday but there is no place like home…

Love your illustration of the palm tree. Great structure. 🙂
Your palm tree is beautiful!!!Soft, yet detailed at the same time, I love it!
I’m sure Malaga was lovely at this time of year. I actually like the sketch in black and white-it looks really effective.
Welcome home!
Mustavalkoinen palmu on hyvä, ei aina tarvita värejä, pehmeää jälkeä.
Glad you had a great holiday and saw the sun. Black and white is never boring, your tree pictures are wonderful! Have a great weekend, Valerie
