Pretending....

Every now and them I like to pretend...Today I am pretending I am an 19th century botanist and this is my house...now you can pretend to....

Naturalist art work

there is something so wonderful, innocent, and truly inspiring about naturalist illustration. It makes us see the smallest, tiniest things in a new light. It is also wonderful drawing practice and a perfect outdoor activity for parents with  their children.  Collect yourselves, a picnic blanket, a boxed lunch and head off into the woods, desert. lake, seashore...your back yard for that matter, bring a pencil or charcoal and just have fun...here is some inspiration.
