Feather, flower, whatever

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is a_________.
Today's tip: You don't have to interpret your work for people. They can make up their own minds. If it needs a label to make any sense at all, you failed to communicate anything with the actual artwork. I realise that I just threw the whole school of conceptual art out with that comment, I don't care, you can tell them where I live, I'm ready!
 (In conceptual art the concept is so much more important than the art that the art can even be made by some else and often is, most of it cannot be understood at all without the labels. Most of the Turner Prize stuff is conceptual art.).

Some kind of branchy, leafy, flowery thing! As my husband described it

I have been at the V&A today, it's the world's biggest museum of design and decorative arts, which pretty much makes it MY museum! Love it!

This work is sort of an emotional response to the Japanese collection.

Today's is a sketch of a young woman. Water soluble pencils form the inestimable Derwent, first time I've used them with water (rather than just as a pencil) and it's love at first draw!

Tulips, my favourite flower. Blog over 20,000 views. Thank you!

Thank you for all the views and comments! They warm my heart.

Today's are tulips. I think if you didn't already know I'm a textile designer this drawing might give you a hint. To me it's begging to be on fabric! You can see some textile design here if you like:

Today's is my children snuggled up together.

It's coloured pencils on brown paper. Caran d' ache watersoluable pencils and Derwent Inktense but I have decided to leave them as pencil lines and not take a brush and wash the colour around. Included an earlier version too.
