Drawing Challenge Returns - Fern

The Drawing Challenge took a brief summer hiatus.  I rather missed our little get-togethers!  Thank you to Norma for graciously offering the theme as we commence anew.
Ferns are very prolific in Southeast Alaska.



The underside of the leaves has seed-thingies.

Please do yourself a kindness and drop by our friend, the Fairy Yellow Bug Queen to wander amongst a forest of ferns brought to you by many talented artists.

  1. Whoa Sus your fern drawing is strong! Wowser. Nice. Your ferns (real shots) are turning colour. I love those spores on the underside of the leafs. I wanted to capture them in my art piece but failed so far. I'll keep at it and see what I get. Your drawing is really just so great. I like it A LOT! N, x

  8. Oh how I love ferns! but it is too dry for them to grow in my more inland town. I enjoyed seeing your photos, and your pen drawing is lovely.

  9. Sus- I'm loving the patterns of wavy lines in your drawing, the flow of some of those continuous lines at the bottom really capture that ferny feeling!

  10. Wonderful ferny, filmy drawing! I used to collect ferns--they hold a special place in plantdom for me, and are always a pleasure to see when they sprout up in spring. Button ferns and five-finger maidenhair ferns are my favorites, but I have a hare's foot fern whose furry runners are a treat, too.

    Yes, tea later this week!! I'm still recovering from Ketchikan, but we had a grand time.
