Art Every Day Seventeen • Leaves and Trees



Spent part of the day drawing trees and leaves. They make great motifs in design. Drawing is a very soothing exercise for me. Great process to begin a piece of work with and become engaged with the subject . I escape, relax and learn. 
It is creative research.

  2. Your trees are awesome! I feel very much the same when I draw; at peace, relaxed, it's very healing in a way. My husband Michael often sees me drawing dots, lines, tiny repetetive detail and comments "how can you sit there and do that?". But it's just so meditative and a real unwinding for me I love it! I was thinking of you yesterday while I was drawing and thought what a shame we live so far away not even in the same country...it would be so nice to be able to catch up for a cuppa and a chat. Have a lovely weekend gorgeous girl! Liza xxx
