20 Minute Milkweed

My first crack at one of the Weekly Drawing Challenges………complete the drawing in 20 minutes.  Not an easy task for a detail person like me, accustomed to working and reworking, adjusting, layering, tweaking.  There are so many things that need adjusting on this, but I stuck with the 20 minute limit and stopped.  And discovered in the process that it would be a good thing for me to do more of these…..operate out of my comfort zone.
