Inktober 2020 Day 16 - Bayport Flower House Plant

On rainy, damp days it is hard to find something to sketch that you can see through a wet windshield. But I needed a subject for my Inktober Day 16 sketch. When I was at the Bayport Flower House recently I noticed they had a few huge, tropical potted plants near their fence. This one was tall (maybe 10 feet) so I parked my car a bit away from the fence so I could see the entire plant. But then I had trouble seeing where all the leaves were going. lol So for part of the time I sketched from a distance and then moved closer so I could see through the raindrops. This was done with my Sailor fude pen which can make thick or thin lines just by turning the pen a little.

  1. You're always creatively finding ways to sketch in inclement weather! ;-) I like your fude pen work here! I don't think I knew you had one! I love mine, too.

    1. Thanks, Tina. I usually forget I have it with me. It comes in handy at times.

  2. Joan you know how to make a challenge fun and this one is no exception. I am not familiar with a fude pen. Is it something that can be purchased on line? I am always trying out new writing instruments. Take care and have a great weekend. Hugs!

  3. Had to laugh about the trouble with the raindrops - lol. This is nice but it really doesn't show the scale all alone like this.

    1. Val, you are right about the scale of the plant. I don't think I could convince anyone to stand next to it and aside from a few pumpkins in the background there wasn't much there. lol

  4. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
