Gourd Drawing and Purple Lupine Thank You Card

I found some really neat gourds at our local farmer's market this year. Lots of bumps and lumps and interesting protrusions here and there. Very challenging drawing. I want to try and paint one next and see how that goes. Trying to get the shadows and create depth will be challenging.

I have a new series of cards using some purple lupine wildflowers I painted earlier in the year. I liked the lavender shades.
