January was a bit of a write-off for me healthwise, but the January Plein Air challenge really got me kickstarted in my new Nature Journal, even when I could only go as far as the back step. Thank you for the nudge! Love your snowdrops. On a recent walk, we even saw a few crocuses and daffodils out. The world is slowly waking up :0)
Sorry to hear you’ve not been well. Crocuses and daffodils should be coming out here in a couple weeks. So lovely!!! Glad you’ve kickstarted a nature journal, that’s brilliant! Hope you can keep going.
Yes, we were surprised by them! Just a few out on a quiet sunny bank. I've kept a nature journal for a few years, but before Christmas I invested in a different sketchbook for this year, so the plein air challenge was just what I needed to get me going! It was an interesting experience all round really. I usually avoid 'challenges', but this felt really accessible :0)
I was inspired by your snowdrops and remembered a few of them popped up last year in my neighborhood so I went on the hunt for them this morning and found them! I'm so excited to draw them too 🤍
Love the snowdrop immersion. I agree that there’s something so beautiful about the winter. I sleep later, read more, make stews, what’s not to love, and those mornings when there’s a hard frost are so amazing.
These are lovely, and so inspiring. Thanks for sharing the Art Retreat Drawing Session. This made my day!
Aw I’m so pleased!! ✨

Yes that crunch under foot!! So blissful!!
I’d like to make more soups and also cinnamon buns.
Oh yes the crunch! And being able to wear woollens! We’re building up a strong list.
I make soup most days from autumn through spring, it’s my culinary happy place. A cinnamon bun though, that sounds waaaay above my pay grade 😂
The snowdrop drawings are just beautiful!
