#drawntonature

Finishing two grant proposals and then back to the drawing table. I keep this book, Drawn to Nature, by @gollybard, at my partner’s house and draw on the open pages while we sit at the kitchen table. Quick sketches added to her printed pages. Bought it as a gift and was so impressed with the way it was presented that it stayed with me. It’s always good to acquire for others those things you love . #thisartistslife #drawntonature #naturesketches #owls #trees #quicksketches #writinggrants #keepingitreal (at Ukrainian Village, Chicago)

Drink and Draw in Drawn to Nature book by @gollybard (Holly Ward Bimba). My found pine cone to her watercolor on the printed page. It's a lovely book, nice for working into. Drawing by candlelight always yields shapes and shadows .... #drawntonature #naturalworld #drawing #artist #wheniwalk #botanicalart #wip #found #collaboration #candlelightdrawing #pinecones (at Wicker Park, Chicago)
