Really beautiful leaves Dianne, great realism. You have a wonderful leaf library!
ReplyDeleteDianne, noticed several leaf specimens were from Aberdeen. My youngest daughter and I visited there 2 yrs ago, we toured the University of Aberdeen. She wanted to attend there and was accepted as a student but unfortunately for now our funding was cut short with the bad economy in the US. I too have wanted to complete the Distance Learning program from SBA. For now I am going back to a local university to complete my art degree that I began 34 yrs ago. Then on to the Botanical art diploma. Love your work. It is inspiring. Thank you for sharing it with us.
