Spiderwort pair

    
         These flowers, the Common Spiderwort I presume, are some of the most fun to draw. Look at the "impertinent angle" of the leaves - to steal a description from Patricia St. John.  They seem always to be heading off strongly in odd directions.  They have crisp lines that are nice to follow.
          They come as a reminder that spring is here!  The prairie over at the park had a bunch of these during those days. Memorial day was upon us.
          Seems like we went there one evening, and they were all closed up for the night.  So go during the day when they are a fantastic display of deep blue flowers showing up individually or in small groups wherever they may.
