Scribble Picnic (Plant Shopping)

Scribble Picnic is here once again and this week we're sharing our interpretation of the theme, "potted plant". I knew fairly quickly what I wanted to illustrate and was quite excited to get started! In this scene, you'll discover I implemented two of my previously illustrated characters - Rudy and Quinton.

So, how about it? Grab your picnic basket and let's go shopping for some potted plants. Of course, Michael says I have more than enough plants in the house at the moment!

For more wonderful contributions, or to share your art of a "potted plant", hop on over to Michael's blog. It's been loads of fun picnicking with others across the world!

    There's no such thing as too many plants. Do you follow @homesteadbrooklyn? Your illustration is delightful. I'd love to go plant shopping with Rudy and Quinton.

    Yes, the overalls seem to be quite a hit, so maybe I need you to buy me some blue striped dungarees like that too? :) Hahha. Can you imagine? no way. All this to say, I love it and as I said on your IG-- I think Rudi is fine with anything but catnip but Quinton was his pirckly plant I surmise. :) Wonderful and cost illustration here. I so love it. Thank you for taking all that time to create this. I'll swap my plant for yours. :)

    Your little mice are just as cute as can be. Love their overalls and her curly hairdo. Great piece.

    Cute, cute, cute! It appears that the friends are having quite a time making a decision on which plant/plants to purchase.
    I would love to know where Rudy and Quinton do their plant shopping, as I would scoop up many at that price of fifty cents!

    We just returned from the annual Master Gardener's plant sale here so this is perfect! Is there such a thing as enough plants? I suppose and yet we keep adding in to our little collection. . . Love the overalls! We both have ours, got them through the historic railroad here in town. Now, I could never see myself in them when I was a city boy but life in the slower, small town lane makes a lot of those "fashion nevers" seem rather superfluous. Plus they're just plain fun!

    Alexandra,
    Don't understand how I missed this with the potted plant? Must have been an "eye thing". Anyway trying to find you today I discovered this. It's beautiful.
    Blessings
