Autumn / Winter..

So its a little late to be posting about autumn, but I'm definitely in time for winter. I love the winter months, the cold air, the slow down of nature but most importantly, the colours.

Yes, I'm a big fan of the vibrancy of summer flowers, and flowers alone are my first love, but there's something very comforting about winter leaves. The oranges and browns and reds, its exciting to see the change of colour around the place and the nakedness of the trees, like you're seeing everything for it's real self. 

So when I go home to Mayo, I love to be surrounded by trees and grass, and I appreciate it more now when living in the city. This weekend I needed some fresh air and inspiration, so I took a walk around the garden, and enjoyed the colours.

I was inspired to draw some print like leaves, and play around with the notion of negative space.
