A New Blog on the Block--Sketching in Nature

My neighborhood blogging block, of course, is Nature Blog Network. And Sketching in Nature is the new blog, an international group blog created by artist, author and teacher, Cathy Johnson, also known as Kate.

I am delighted to be a contributing artist in this group and look forward to seeing how other artists work. It's a chance for everyone to peek over the shoulders of nature-loving artists and see what they discover, what draws their interest and what inspires them to create.

In my last post, I featured the male downy woodpecker that visited me while I was sketching an oak tree. I was also visited by a brown thrasher who graced me with song. There is a wonderful world out there to see and hear.
Below is the finished sketch.

  2. Really like your blog and your art and images! Glad to have found you!

    Love your sketch and the Thrasher image. We have them around here (Florida) quite a bit, but I never tire of hearing them sing!

  3. I looove seeing artists' field work and I'm very excited about this blog!

    Little FYI ... the 'Sketching in Nature' blog link you have in your sidebar has "http://" repeated, so the link doesn't work.
