Getting Back in the Groove: Nature Journaling

Sometimes, the simplest thing to draw is the most enchanting thing to draw.  

An afternoon walk around my farm yielded this collection of acorns under a young oak tree, as well as this crisp Winesap apple from the little orchard we planted 15 years ago.

Observations of the change of seasons deepen the experience of simply sitting outside.

My cat joined me in the late afternoon sunshine.

This was our perch:

When you're getting back in the groove of making art, a nature journal can slip you right back into your old routine.  A favorite pencil or pen and a little book are all you need to record what you see right now in nature.  If you make a sketch you don't like, simply turn to a fresh page and start again.  No pressure.

I hope you take time to create this week.  See where it leads you!

Happy Creating!
