Our botanical drawing class is over, but some of the students wanted to meet weekly at the Experimental Farm to sketch outdoors - weather permitting
My neighbor Mary and I joined them a few days ago.
The day was warm and sunny.
There weren't many visitors when we arrived, but a crew of volunteers was already busily working nearby.
I hunted for a shady place in which to draw.
While others headed for various flower beds, I was struck by the beauty of this tree - so I sat in the shade of another tree and sketched it.
Not exactly a precise botanical rendition - but a challenge nonetheless.
I had come reluctantly - thinking of all the work I had to do at home. But I left refreshed. Sitting outdoors soaking in nature and drawing is wonderful therapy!
