I’ve recently had a change in my work life at my local garden center. I’ve been working indoors (home decor) for the last year and I’m now working outside with beautiful perennial plants. I have to say, I am extremely happy with this change both mentally and physically. I get to take care of beautiful plants and help/chat with the customers about their plant needs. Oh and I’m receiving plenty of vitamin D…just what my doctor ordered.
Since I’m working in a different department, my work hours have also changed and so I no longer have my morning time for sketching nor blogging. This explains why I have been MIA from my blog for a bit and why the ink in my artsy fountain pens have gone dry. I’ve been trying to figure out a new system or balance of life where I can still keep my creativity going and maintain this blog.
In the meantime, I have been taking pictures of the beauty that’s around me at the garden center. I thought I would share a few here.







Sketching Prompt: Maybe a few of my floral pictures could be used as a prompt for your sketches. Sketch a bug or a few petals.
Looks like I’ll be busy cleaning and soaking my fountains pens that contained the dried up inks. Did I mention they were shimmering inks?
