It is all about small steps, but you will be so surprised at how quickly things pick up. The development reminds me of punctuated evolution where not much improves over time and then suddenly one makes a bit leap in progress, only to plateaux again before another leap. Keep going, you might be near a 'leap'! Very pleased to hear that you visited the Rory McEwen exhibition at Kew when it was on show. Such an amazing collection of art work, it really did blow my mind.

So I laid away my pencils and sketch-pads for a long time. <br />After I found my old sketch of „Arabidópsis thaliána“ in one of my determination-books I began again, but rare. I sketched many sectional drawings of our big apple- and pear-collection to provide my determination work each autum. (People often come to us to let determinate their apple varieties.)<br />On a vist at Kew gardens when we went to London in 2013 let me discover botanical art.<br />The exhibition Rory McEwen - The Colours Of Reality took me into another world. (especially a leaf of an oak)<br />I now make my first attemps to use watercolor, but I see it is a long, long way.<br />There is the wish to become better but there are only verry small steps.<br />And so it will probably cost many years before I can try to paint our rare apple varieties in a nearly realistic way…<br />J.
