The faces and critters in our edible flower garden

The faces and critters in our edible flower garden

I pick the edible flowers almost daily, after the morning dew has dried but before they get warm in the sun. After flower harvest, I tip over the basket ... and the crazy big bright pile of edible flowers on the bench in front of me is ... just beautiful. And so, on a day off, I draw a big pile of edible flowers, trying to capture the attitude of each flower face. I hide in my drawing the critters that I encounter out in the flower beds: skinks, honeybees, bumblebees, snails, and ants. Friends and foes of our market garden.
