After the intensity of the symposium, I retreated to sketch at an out-of-the-way park in Clark County, WA, along a peaceful stretch of the Columbia River. Huge cargo ships moor in the river and we could see the farmlands of Sauvie Island in the distance.
We finally had to scurry off because of the clouds of mosquitoes that came out at dusk. We power-walked to the car, leap in our seats and slammed the doors–then had to spend some time smacking the buzzing critters that had followed us in!
This blog is about my journey as a botanical artist--what I am learning, what inspires me and what I am currently drawing or painting. My desire is to continually hone my skills to better express my wonder and gratitude for the beauty of the creation around me in the Pacific Northwest (USA).
this is so pretty and the colors really draw me in.
Beautiful, Janene! I love the lettering too…you are so talented! God has certainly blessed you with a special way to capture images of His creation! Thank you for sharing that gift with us. 🙂
Thanks Linda and rratz!
