Hello :-)
smiles happily
Pretty much all of my time of late has been spent drawing… So much so I started to forget what sunlight looked like and dark shadows started to form under my eyes. Not a nice look…
But! The weather here has been so beautiful, so warm and so alluring that I had to put my pencils down, put my trainers on and venture out into the woods.
When i was a child i spent countless hours by myself playing around in the woods and streams… Amongst the trees i felt safe and strangely at home. I still love all things green and muddy so – i thought – why shouldn’t i play around in them now? I’m still a child at heart.
And so… Amongst my drawings and writings and all things arty i’ve been enjoying tree climbing, stream jumping, shoe losing, t-shirt wetting, water splashing, muddy smelling madness.
I know there is a lot of love for all things green and natural within our lovable redbubble community so i thought i would share some of my recent woodland adventures…
Hurray for silliness!
Oh… and this one below was me just after falling into the stream!
I have seen some amazing trees, some were so incredible i will be using them as inspiration for a few new drawings.
You know what would be wonderful? If this journal can inspire yourself to put on your wellys and go playing in a near by stream or randomly climb a tree. Maybe take your camera with you… You may just see something that inspires you to create your next masterpiece. Believe me… Its well worth it and it may just make you feel like a child again…
Life’s far too short not to!

Yeah, a couple of those trees you were climbing in look really cool. I love to go in the woods, but unfortunately I don’t have any at my house I can go in. If I want to go in the woods, I have to drive somewhere else. We have woods around our house, but they’re fenced in. And considering that the neighbors have cattle inside that fence… I don’t think they would appreciate me tromping around inside.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your pictures. You are right about doing things that is enjoyable and getting out and exploring. Makes me want to go and explore today. Sadly I will have to hold off doing this for another day. Thanks again.
