    What better flower to use as a model for my sketch practice than the rose. I added the original just for a comparison.

    It definitely makes for an interesting rendition of a rose. Does it take long to do a sketch like that?

    Thanx Jerry,

    This took about a half hour to forty-five minutes.

    It's beautiful Daniel.
    Do you find that sketching relaxes your mind?

    Thanx cuatro-gatos,

    I really never gave it much thought. I'm trying it out and do enjoy it almost as much as I do my iron art...or fishing.

    I agree you seem to have got to grips with it really quickly with great results.
