Back to my favourite medium – pen and ink.

The swiss-cheese plant (monstera) in our bathroom decided to get rid of its oldest leaf, but I thought is was too attractive to throw away, so I kept it.

It gradually went browner and more curled, and eventually it was just right for drawing. I tried a couple of ideas but couldn’t resist the good old fine liners. It took a while as there is more detail than you see at first glance.

I was torn between leaving the finished piece black, or whether it should be coloured – so here are both versions. What do you think? Or should I have gone green, may be?
