EDM #47. Draw a challenge from the past year 1-46 that you didn't try before. So I chose # 26 which was draw anything you like. This is a Washington palm tree outside my window. It is bleak, cold, wet and quite low light and it's affecting my mood. I am loathe to move as big expressive movements loose heat, so I ended up doing this tech pen drawing which needed my eyes close to the journal. The drawing is 17 x17 cm.

Thanks for visiting Sherrie, the palm is native to desert regions of mexico, quite hardy, quick growing, to 100'and also known as the Mexican Fan Palm.
