I have been having fun with my Botanical Inktober prompts so far this month and we are halfway through already! I also posted a couple of short videos on my YouTube channel if you would like to see. More info below. There is a hint of Autumn here in Spain, but all the flowers are still blooming, filling my morning walks with fragrance and lots of color! We have hibiscus, bougainvillea, lavender, morning glory and so much more that is abundantly growing where I live. So when I can, I’ll also be using live florals to inspire my drawing practice. I wish the leaves here were turning, but it’s stil ..read more

Hello creative friend! The seasonal shift is happening here in Spain and its so wonderful to feel the cooler air in the mornings and light cool breeze in the afternoon. This is a time for honoring the seasonal shifts and also taking some time for yourself. Time to reflect, dream a little and spend some time in nature. When we spend time in nature, our connection to mother earth deepens, it heals us. Our body hums a sweet harmony, our breath slows down and our heart beats in time with the song of the earth. We feel connected. Free. As one. Complete. A sanctuary in nature that is our ‘home’. Be ..read more
