Lovely to see this post pop into my inbox. I'm really enjoying those shoreside sketches - I figure if we walked together we'd both be honing in on some of the same things, you sketching and me taking photos.
I also love Sniff The Air. I'm sure I saw this one on your stories - love the sense of movement in this one. Lovely composition.
And I agree completely - when the world feels heavy, it can feel hard to sit and create, or to share stories or experiences that feel so personal and 'small' within the wider context. But we need this. We need other things, other experiences. We need people noticing nature and sharing it and respecting it. We need people sharing their own creative journeys. This is not the time for creativity (or the community surrounding it) to feel stifled and unseen.
I'm looking forward to your next post. Would also love to see more from your walks and the places that inspire you. 😌

Thank you for your lovely thoughtful comment and kind words about the sketches! I think we are definitely both drawn to the same sort of details.
And yes, you’re absolutely right, we need creativity to thrive and to show our love for nature too!
Lovely drawing of Jeffers sniffing the air!
Thank you! It’s such a cute pose, couldn’t resist drawing it!
