The fragrant, pure white flowers of Magnolia denudata (yulan, lily tree, slender magnolia) were just opening before the foliage emerges. This plant makes a large deciduous, spreading shrub or small tree up to 9m in height.

Beech nuts of the Common Beech (Fagus sylvatica), which for hundreds of years used to be used to fatten up pigs being kept in the woodlands and common lands where they grew. Surrey, UK, June 2026
Hello, I have been gone a while! It's been a very slow year so far of recovering from extensive shoulder/arm/hand RSI flare-ups...I've had to change a lot of how I do things, an obvious one being minimizing computers/phones/social media. Still have a ways to go but I'm building back strength! Being able to draw more again has been wonderful even with setbacks.
These sketches are from April, the first two sitting with spring sprouts under pine trees, and the other a corner of a walkway at a park. Straight to ink with a black felt brushpen for both, then trying to catch the shifting light with a grey pen.
