  archive theme - rocks I tried to limit the selection to rocks found in Canada, specifically Alberta. I also tried to narrow down my selection to rocks found outside. Only 6 rocks were from my own personal collection (figures 12, 13, 25, 27, 28, and 30).  My personal favourites from the collection are figures 9, 13, 25, and 30.

 2 drawings - observational and accidental  observational I decided to sketch a candleholder on my kitchen table using a 6B pencil. I decided to colour it with watercolour to try and show the interesting ways the light hits it and affects the colour. Looking back on it now, I should've had more greens and browns, and fewer yellows.  accidental I was honestly a little stumped on this prompt, I had a couple ideas going through my head on what you could interpret 'accidental' as. I decided to use coffee and a cup to create a bunch of rings and splotches on my page as organically as humanly possible. Then, using a paintbrush, I followed some of the lines to carve out shapes. To me, they look like fish but it's open for interpretation. I generally do not do abstract art so this was a challenge for me.
