These hostas were leftover from a makeover a Gramma's place. They spent a winter in the compost pile, and then planted by the back door. They did not take an extra year to bloom again as I half expected; was that because of the good compost?
Nice to be able to stand up. The big chunk of graphite laying on the easel was a gift from Deana who was cleaning out her closet. The easel came from a neighbor around the block- "curb hardware"- believe it! I actually have another lighter one from the same store as well.
I was keeping an eye out for an opportunity to use the graphite stick. Had not done these plants when they were blooming, so I am glad I got this done. Now (since Monday 8/31) I have a roll of heavy paper to use for these quick studies or for large project layouts: 8" diameter by some 62" tall that I can cut paper from one pc at a time. It should last some years I suppose. It is also from the same curb!
You can see that I did this on the easel standing by the hostas.
Here is the drawing; the easel; the hostas off to the side and the yard behind.And a closeup.
