Seascapes and Butterflies

Painting outside. Again.

At the moment I am taking the time to really dive back into making art for myself and to work on my art journal practice. I am always so fast and need to slow down.
 

For now I like to get in the car, with snacks and water and to drive around looking for cool things to paint.

Last week I took a trip down to Long Beach, Pales Verdes and discovered so many cool areas. I was standing on top of a cliff at Roessler Point and was overwhelmed by the all the feelings of looking at beautiful nature.

I also stop by the South Coast Botanic Garden. I walked around in the gardens and went to the butterfly habitat. Definitely the highlight of the day. I did a quick sketch and painting while sitting among the butterflies. So cool.
