The first time I heard barred owls caterwauling I thought they sounded like monkeys,not likely in Canada😁.   We have Saw whet owls calling in the spring and Great greys here every other winter.     I have never heard a sound like that that come from a deer, so that one surprised me.

Did this from  a photo I took while out hiking.   I found the thistle difficult to get the colour accurate and the spikes were challenging.    I’ve never used water colour before, I really enjoyed it.      I’m happy with how the bumble turned out.  

I found this very challenging but was amazed how the grapefruit took shape. Its a relaxing exercise to closely observe such everyday objects.  I found this time of day( late afternoon)the light changed quickly so I just had to pick one and go with it.

I have a keen interest in nature and spend many hours alone enjoying the woods near my home.    I do not have any art experience at all but wanted to explore that side of myself.   This course seemed like a good way to combine my interests. I really like the idea of a monthly page in my journal.     Where I live is very seasonal and it would be fun to capture the monthly rhythms with art.    We’ll see how it goes!  Jenny
