Bird, Artificial Flowers, and Lucky Bamboo

This is from a plant my sister decorated working at HEB in Texas.  She adds the little artificial flowers and little decorations like the bird when shipments come into the Florist Department.

I absolutely love this plant and have sketched it a time or two over the last two years.  This time I decided to sketch and paint using watercolor.

Worked in the Stillman & Birn Alpha 4 x 6 journal.  Pilot Prera with Lexington Gray ink and used a white sharpie here and there at the end.

I remembered to scan along the way.............
