I love pine trees, so I decided to do a quick sketch of a couple of pine cones. Over the years in my household we’ve used pine cones for everything, from decorations on our front door at Christmas to fire cracklers in houses we lived in with real fire places. We’ve painted them, dipped them…

Loving Pears
Sketching & drawing is such blissful fun! I’ve just started doing sketches sometimes as opposed to painting all the time, and I’m so happy with my new found sketching skills! I know, I can hear you all… HOW could you NOT know that you could do this??!? I used to sketch when I was younger…
