the beauty of a manmade rainforest

These plants and window were actually very easy to overlook...

{...the entire exhibit is essentially a manmade rainforest within a giant room; there were not only trees, water and plant life but several birds either seated on branches or flying around. The point is, with all the squawking/rustling/humidity, you could easily miss something as generic as a window.}

subject: plants, flowers, and window
location: National Zoo (Washington DC)

abstractExcercise 1.07

This type of post will show random drawings, studies, or experiments that either led to final work or were nothing more than fun excercises. I'll post more of these as I get a chance to scan them. It's interesting to see what each of these contribute to in terms of future projects.
