Drawing Inspiration From Flowers

Hello Friends - how are you all?

I’ve had a strugglesome few weeks but there have been two significant outcomes:

1) I picked up a pencil and drew! For years I’ve advocated for the arts and how essential active creativity is for our wellbeing, but not actually drawn anything for about 20 years! So with my mental health in a bad place I thought I would try drawing and I’ve loved it. Two days in a row, just about half an hour of quiet focussed time and I definitely feel better for it.

2) I’m really missing Flower Club! I miss all my customers a lot but I really love our monthly seasonal flower gathering when we get to be creative with buckets of our blooms. I’m wondering if anybody be interested in coming to an online Flower Club. Maybe flowers could be collected, we could meet on an online thingermejig.*

I’m just getting a feel for interest for the moment... Here’s my lilac drawing. I’m rusty but firmly believe it’s about having a go and practice. Flowers are a great subject too. They stay nice and still!
