Nature Journal full of Drawings

Amazing illustrations showcasing both the artist's work and nature's.
The following is how British artist Jo Brown introduces herself: "Professional illustrator (not a biologist)". Which makes her work even more fascinating.

It's a great experience, when you can communicate your love for something to others. Share with them the things that fascinate you about any given subject.

Brown has a real love for nature, that shines bright in her work; some of which were inspired strolls in her own garden. They are all the result of careful observation; a drive to gather all these experiences and celebrate nature's prodigious designs in her journal.

The writing, not only provides a brief description of what you are looking at, but also adds to the composition, framing the drawing and becoming art itself.

Now to the nature excursion; enjoy the drawings on this page and this coming week.
