Aroma

The weekword is aroma - chosen by Caroline, you can link to all the other entries there after stopping a while to look at her beautiful blog. This word was easy for me as my house has been filled with flowers this week and the fragrant aroma drifted into every room. I'm a big fan of Keri Smith and was given this brilliant book a while ago so decided to draw my flowers by looking through a square hole in a piece of card - exploration #48.

Instinct

I've been a fan of Keri Smith for ages and received her book 'How to be an explorer of the World' for Christmas. This is the result of Exploration #48 - quick sketches documenting different compositions and in doing this I've realised my instinct is to search for pattern & texture.
