Drawing makes me happy

Drawing has always been my most favourite thing to do since being very small. I remember drawing cross sections of trees full of funny shaped rooms and stairways and imagining living in them.
I did a fine art degree, specialising in painting, and got into painting churches, streets and anything to do with perspective and forgot all about the natural world.
I then had 17 years as a community artist during which time I developed a real love of crafts and making.
I retrained and now I work as a gardener which feeds my need to be outside in nature and also offers endless opportunities for inspiration.
I live in rural lincolnshire, and this combined with my gardening work has reminded me of my first love of drawing nature.
So this is where I'm at now, making little wooden birds and animals and also doing some great big drawings of woods and trees ( but they're not on folksy yet ) and just absolutely loving the making bit, it feels so good to make stuff.
