Not seasonal perhaps, but as the brighter colours in the garden are starting to fade - the simple muted palette and structural form of this New Zealand flax (Phormium) adds sophistication. Some people might find these muted colours too drab - to me they are reminiscent of Art Nouveau, of the poster illustrations of artists from that period such as Alphonse Mucha and Henri J. Detouche - subtle and organic. I find I respond to some subjects infinitely more than others and I really enjoyed drawing these... Poster 1899 by Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) Poster 1896 by Henri J. Detouche (1854-1913) If you like this post - you can subscribe to Planet Sam by email :) here. ...from my seasonal colour sample notebook.

Sprawling rosemary bushes were (and still are) covered with sky-blue flowers, which foraging bees evidently appreciate as much

It's been a while! When I was teaching a short course in textile design at West Dean College last week, one of the students very kindly brought me in a small branch from her Ginkgo Biloba tree because I'd mentioned that I had always wanted to draw it. So there was nothing to be done but make time this weekend to draw a few leaves and document their beautiful colours for a bit of brain therapy... Colours from the top: Leaf green; leaf stalk yellow; fruit green; young fruit blue/green; branch brown. Many thanks to Sally ...from my seasonal colour sample notebook
