Only a few metres away from my place, there is a small but a nice woodland. So even when I can not go somewhere special, I can still enjoy nature and sketching.
One day after lunch, I went there with my sketchbook to draw this white flower. I tried painting with watercolour but unsatisfied with the result. White flowers are always very difficult to paint. And I found myself not being able to resist trying in printmaking. I'm truly in love with the media!

The third orange layer itself was a rather nice piece of work!
And the forth green layer, too.
ミズキの葉の上で、エサキモンキツノカメムシの成虫が卵をガードしていた。これを描いた翌日にも見に行ったのだけれど、見つけた2カ所とも、卵が完全に姿を消していた。スケッチをしてよく見たので、卵があった葉っぱがどれかはすぐにわかったのだが、葉は何事もなかったようにそこにあった。卵が孵ったのなら、殻が残っているだろうから、鳥に食べられてしまったのだろうか。
なんとイチヤクソウがひっそり咲いていた。
アオイラガ。
夜になぜか夫が連れ帰ってきたナガチャコガネ。
Sunset on a midsummer day. Since I knew that the colour would only stay pink for a blink of an eye, I grabbed a sketchbook and painted straight away. I wish I used better paper for watercolour but the fact that I painted it is more important than the result, I suppose.
