It’s not a flower but I just loved the stem. I bought this as a decoration for the Fall season but it never made it off my drawing table. This was also an experiment with using my new Derwent lightfast pencils. They have spectacular oranges but are limited in pinks especially and so are well suited for my artistic break from pink flowers.

All of those leaves underneath are oak leaves from different kinds of oak trees. I had thought to do a study of them just for themselves…maybe next Fall.
