 Welcome February. 😊 I am so happy to see the first snowdrops, buds and shoots starting to emerge 😍

My illustration is the chapter opener from February in Homecoming, a guided nature journal written by award-winning writer Melissa Harrison.

Drawing in the Peak District

Wow, what a beautiful day out in the Peak District, at Curbar Edge. I feel so lucky and blessed to  live in Derbyshire. For me there is nothing like being out in nature to inspire and get my creativity going. 

I am currently creating some brand new nature collections which i will be posting about very soon, stay tuned!

Taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch today. Hoping to capture some video and photos only using the phone camera. It’s so nice to take the time to get up close to these amazing birds 🥰😍

I will be doing my recording hour later from more of a distance using my binoculars. A special thanks to my first two stars of the show, Mr Blue Tit and Mrs House Sparrow.
