nature journal

As autumn descends upon us, it's time to start a new nature journal. I've been out collecting some leaves and acorns and have started creating some watercolour sketches.

I hope to fill up these pages over the coming months!

This is something much different than my usual artwork. This is Georgetown University, as seen from Theodore Roosevelt Island National Park. It is painted with acrylics on a 16x20 inch canvas, and is based on my own photograph of this scene taken in 2011.
