A pencil sketch of a columbine plant
Struggling with motivation again lately :/ decided to force myself to at least doodle for a couple minutes and ended up drawing for nearly an hour.. here's what i drew

A two page spread of a few things i saw on my walk
Top sketch: an attempt to clarify the underlying shape of the wings folding together on the back of a bald eagle Bottom sketch: a sketch of two bald eagles sitting on a branch. The eagles have white heads and tails and black/ brown wings and bodies. Their beaks are yellow and their brow creates a sharp, imposing expression. The sky is bright blue behind them, clear of clouds
Sketch: a roughly drawn squirrel Text: This squirrel ran up to me, its little footsteps thumping on the board walk far before i saw it.. we saw each other and both stiffened up, so absorbed in our own activities we didnt expect to see each other
Sketch: an old fallen log with a large hole, seeming to extend further into the trunk than we can see. Text: I wonder what has found shelter in this log.. it seems like a great place to shelter for a storm
Went out to our local marsh yesterday and did a few sketches. It was windy and a little cold though so there was only so much my fingers could take!

A ballpoint pen drawing of a hickory tree, a strip of its bark peeled toward the viewer. The bark is rough and shaggy, but where it has peeled away is a much smoother surface
Three ballpoint pen sketches. In the top left corner, the base of a burr oak. In the top right corner, a stump with puffball mushrooms and another, flatter mushroom on the exposed core, and various types of moss growing on the bark. Across the bottom, a rough sketch of a log with shelf mushrooms.
Being outside so much this last week has called me back to art. The trees are my inspiration, strong forms made over long time periods. Here are a couple of tree drawings i've made in the last week

Hey! Its been a while. I've been in a bit of an artistic dryspell, which is unfortunately pretty normal for me. In the meantime i've been spending time outside, as the last week or so have been unseasonably warm where i live. Listening to the birds has been very enjoyable!
