1. After taking a bird painting workshop with Liz, in which we painted a Cedar Waxwing, I became inspired to do more bird paintings. I don't have much confidence in my art work, so I hope to dive in and see how my journaling and art work improve over time. Also, yesterday I was super close to a summer tanager and watched him take a bath. He didn't seem to mind that I was there at all. So my first page of my journal is to try and capture that moment.
2. I like the idea of keeping dates and locations, and also doing the drawings first to use whatever space is needed. I also like doing a circular close up when needed to show more small details.
3. I may have more ideas as I get working more on my journal, but not at the moment.
