Winterberry

As the theme of our classwork has been Holly species (Ilex), Sarah assigned an extra credit homework assignment to find the deciduous holly, Winterberry, Ilex verticillata. That's easy here--there are tow Nuncketest posts and it grows in my swamp back yard. So rather than begin my holly assignments, I tried a sketch of Winterberry to warm me up. It's really been a long time since I've used my pencils.
