English Holly sketch
I wish you much peace and joy, now and in the coming year.




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).
Janene, what a lovely sentiment and an equally beautiful sketch. it is always a pleasure to visit your blog and it’s always a delight to sketch with you. All the best to you.
Thanks Vicky–I appreciate your encouragement and look forward to our next sketching venture!! Always a pleasure to sketch with you too!!
Belated Happy New Year Janene. I look forward to seeing many more of your botanical illustrations this year.
Sue, Best wishes for a creative and enjoyable year to you! I look forward to seeing your work as well.
