Ornamental Cabbage? I am so there. This one is going to be fun. I see watercolor in my future and a chance to try out my new liquid frisket pen!
Here's my official comment to be included.
Michael, I'm thinking watercolor too.
Ok, I guess I'm in too. Oh, and fyi to the admins, I will be posting mine on my new art blog, http://artbykylie.blogspot.com/ instead of the food blog I posted on last time.
What a lovely photo!
I will gladly participate.
Thank you Sherrie and Rose.
Yikes. I'm in.

Hi...I'm a newbie to the Virtual Sketch Date, but it's a great idea and I'd love to have a go. I'm thinking graphite pencil but that could change during the week...

Lovely painterly photo - I'm in too!
What a great photo! I'm going to give it a try.
I am humbled! I hope you find it challenging and a joy! Thank-you so much for all the wonderful compliments.
I have decided to go backwards and do the first one and post on my Flickr.
Mine is so hard for me. Please note: I also, entered it into American Photo Contest for the up and coming photographers. One of ten photos.
I am so excited. Little chance of being seen in that group. Just had to have a go!

This is new for me also, but I am excited to give it a try. Count me in!

Hidely-ho all,
Okay... I'm in. This is a neat picture. Looks like another pen/ink and, possibly, a watercolor version of this.
For those interested, I also post the pictures of the pieces while they're in progress: http://bugstumper.blogspot.com

Hi all,
Okay, mine is done. It's at http://bugstumper.blogspot.com and is called Feeding time. I'm hoping to get a watercolor version of it done before the weekend, but it's looking pretty slim for that.

Ivetopaint,
I think your painting is gorgeous! I have tried to get my yahoo account to let me comment at Flickr, and it thwarts me.
Your painting is just terrific, so I am telling you here.
Thanks for the wonderful sketch date concept. I love it.. but oh no my name doesn't appear on the blog roll anymore:(
Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments. I had fun and certainly look forward to doing this again. Thanks to all those that made it possible and you've only to ask if there is something I can ever do to help.
