The Nature of Things

Botanical Art Print: Doll’s Eyes Plant wedding ring waited 80 years for adventuresOn a family vacation a few years ago, family familied, and I drew. The house and lake were surrounded by plants so they were my subjects for the week. I blackened my papers, sat outside, and made these little drawings. I often had kids popping in and out, trying their hand at using white gouache and gel pens on the inky pages (most often involving skulls and creatures!). I love exploring different ways to draw, and the unexpected results that emerge.
