The letter K, 30 day challenge

Here is a kiwifruit! I am starting to have to do these really quickly now, this one wasn't even dry when I scanned it (note the smudge, and the fact that I totally forgot to paint the stalk!). Rushing to get more done...

The letter J, 30 day challenge

Well! I really don't like this one. It's a jicama, which apparently is a type of turnip. I put far too much black ink pen in this one. This vegetable is actually very pale in colour. Can you spot the mistake (clue: a line going down the right hand side...oops!). Not being allowed to make any corrections, it stays! What  pains me is that this is going to be on top of my blog until I post a new one!

The letter I, 30 day challenge

Well, this one takes the cake for difficulty! All those leaves on leaves...on leaves! This is taking so much longer than I thought. I am really hoping I don't have to extend this deadline, that totally defeats the object, but I am no fun on no sleep!

The letter H, 30 day challenge

Here is H. This is a hubbard squash, believe it or not. I pictured it to be a little more round and a lot more green! I am really starting to miss using other styles and was very tempted to use more of a splatter on this one (to match my Saturday mood), but that is not what I challenged myself, is it?

The letter F, 30 day challenge

Well it's been a wee while and I am seriously behind with this challenge so I'm going to have to catch up furiously over the next few days! Here is a feijoa. A lovely little fruit available in very few countries. I first discovered it when I arrived in New Zealand. Anyone that has not yet tasted this is missing out!

The drawing was a little difficult, I got the shape wrong, but in keeping with my little challenge-to-self, there could be no redrawing and it has to stay.

The letter G, 30 day challenge

So this is a guava. I haven't seen one for years and I have looked everywhere. This is one of my favourite fruits in the world—yum! My water colour paints are starting to look a bit haggard, I will put a pic up once I am done with the whole alphabet, if they last that long.
