Mindy Lighthipe’s 30 Days, 30 Leaves Challenge
On October 1, natural science illustrator and author, Mindy Lighthipe launched a 30-day challenge. Her primary objective is to learn about the plants of Florida by drawing one leaf from a different plant each day. Joining Mindy on her 30-day adventure are members of the Botanical Artists Group on Facebook.
On Day 1 Mindy outlined her objectives for the month. On Day 2, she wrote about her visit to Kanapaha Botanical Garden and discussed leaf anatomy. On Day 3, she painted a leaf from her datura plant. Then yesterday, she shared her experiences using the Icarus Drawing Board, a tool she learned about at the 2008 conference of the American Society of Botanical Artists.
What is she doing today?

The leaves Mindy creates for her 30-day challenge are available for purchase at her Bugs, Beasts & Botanicals store on Etsy.
