One of the struggles I have with these prompts is in what order to draw the lines. I want things that should be in the front not to have lines going through them for things that should be in the back. I often stop and try to figure out what I should draw first. In this case, I got so wrapped up in the zillions of willow leaves that I neglected the proper size of the trunk.

I may work on this one a bit more. It needs a bit of a bank around the pond and many, many more leaves on the tree.  Still, I am not unhappy with the drawing.

I am trying to catch up by responding to two prompts a week. It is hard, because I don’t really draw much at home and the Young Man has reduced his appointment schedule (read time for me to sit and read, write letters or draw – no cell phones allowed) to once every other week. I simply cannot do 4 drawings in an hour. I need more time than that. He is getting older and busier, so I can’t blame him for wanting to reduce the schedule, but I do blame him for taking my time away. 😉  I do keep reminding myself that if I had just drawn every week when I posted the prompts, I wouldn’t be in this pickle.

This is kind of a continuation of the dining room group and related to the Birthday prompt. There is something I like about doing similar scenes over and over.

I am trying to keep up, so I didn’t post the original prompt for this word that long ago. Go take a look and see what you can come up with. What do you think about?
