I have just dropped a few frozen grapes into a smoothie and I was left with a lovely grape branch that I couldn't compose, it had character, and it definitely needed to be drawn.

So I drew the branch on an acrylic background paper.  It looked like a tree, a special one sprouting from a small spot.  Then I pictured it coming out of a hand, a small hand of a rosy cheek girl. 

I enjoyed finding the story as I was working on this exercise.  It made me think lots about the seeds we plant intentionally and unintentionally and how all our actions bear fruit.

This is the beginning on something great, ideas flowing and growing.  I for sure want to explore this one a lot more.

What seeds do you want to plant this week?
