I love trees and I'm frustrated that I don't seem to get a decent drawing of one. I really love this style you used here, it has so much character!

Once a year, there is a clean up Brisbane campaign where volunteers get together and go clean up parks, creeks, and local areas. It's a good effort but the public at large could save them a lot of work by being responsible with their litter. <br /><br />OH, and some of the rest-rooms here Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-3377768435063721982016-09-04T16:31:16.631+10:002016-09-04T16:31:16.631+10:00Awwwww, thanks, Tammy!

Since no one did it for the art world's attention, it ALL had a remarkable style and beauty to it and it was mostly on buildings and train cars in Brooklyn and the Bronx that, quite frankly, needed the lift of color and art. lol I had never seen graffiti done like that Nicolas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126974984715446831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-79412608701086640512016-08-31T22:05:08.933+10:002016-08-31T22:05:08.933+10:00you live in beautiful area
