I figured the first one I would see would be Cannibas Sativa in the show. I know we have some hippies around here somewhere?

Anyways, I'm thinking of doing a line sketch of an Aloe study this month. Though it won't be a 'finished' piece would a study count?

If the study itself is finished and complete, it is eligible.

Thanks Melissa, I'm not planning on going any further with the image other then a study sketch.
