Busy as an bee

I have been studying botanical drawing and painting the last 6 moths at London Art College. It's not that I know very much about scientific botanic, but I had ideas in my head, about fairy art I wanted to create, but I just couldn't get it down on paper, so I decide to take the difficult way, and study botanical illustration.

Right now I am working on my last assignment. Looking back I can see how much I have improved my drawing and painting skills. I have been surprised how much there are to paint, and draw right outside my house, I don't need a vacation to a more exotic place, I just step out side into my garden with my sketchbook, and pencils, and find a nice warm corner where I can sit and draw. There is nothing like the feel of Grass Between Your Toes, and the sound of the summer breeze playing in the trees.

Lately I got my self a new habit, that I call "My every day adventure". I simply pick out a place near by my house, that I never have seen. Some times it's in my own garden. I might climb a tree to see the view from up there, or I find a street I never have seen.

I have, and I am sorry it took me so long to reply, but i live in Denmark so there might be a time difference between Denmark and the place you live.

Have a magic day!
