That Sparky, always stirring things up. He's got a self-portrait challenge going on and I finally had to capitulate.
(I hate it when you have to scroll down to see the whole thing, but here you do.)
Half of the world already has (check 'em out!). But so I wouldn't feel lonely stuck out here on my own, I'm adding sketches of a couple of my forebears. 
Hope you don't mind.
As for the garden, here are two more sketches:
Love the portrait and the chairs! I am starting to sound like a broken record but the way you handle color is fascinating, you're very gutsy when it comes to slapping in color, much more brave than I, and I like the results. I would never have though about shades of purple for my neck, but alongside the green it's stupendous!

Alrighty then, I'm in -- and I blame you and the Tart equally.
Just posted.

I even asked Sparky if I could be Rabble, since it seems this could foment Revolution...

I think the monkey needs a nice colorful tie.
Great job Laura!
