🌷 🖤 🏁 🌿 🐛 🐌 ✨ // still life with fritillaries & hellebores // gouache on hot press paper

A gift painted for a friend for their help with top surgery stuff! fritillaries are wild; they're actually checkered that way in nature, and hellebores really do come in black.

How is it that I drew all these botanical structures

Yet today am struggling to illustrate some basic, small, needle-like leaves?

Arrrrrrrggghhhhh.

Why is being human/Mondays/my brain like this??? 🙃😭

At last, a sunny day and time to play with the macro lens. It has been a tough year so far, too much rain and strong winds recently. many plants have suffered and blossom on the trees was blown away before a chance to set much fruit I fear. But open gardens in just over a month's time and so we must remain optimistic.

Six of my favourite photos to take in June 2022, month summary and my birds of the month

Great Crested Grebe and chicks at Lakeside Country Park, Hampshire

Broad-bodied Chaser dragonfly at Bentley Wood

Bee orchid at Lakeside

Another of my favourite birds the Gannet flying at RSPB Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire

Beautiful view at Flamborough Head in Yorkshire

Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary at Fen Bog Nature Reserve in the North York Moors, Yorkshire

June has been another fantastic month where I took a lot of photos and saw a lot of wildlife and places. From seeing rare for the county Dippers that had nested in Hampshire, to the Peregrine chicks in Winchester with much more in between it’s been another incredible month of birdwatching for me. From seeing Marbled Whites and other summer species particularly locally at Lakeside trickle onto my year list to the many fritillaries encountered it’s been an amazing month of butterflies with my year list number flying up and me at a really advanced stage in the peak butterfly season now which feels really good. It’s also been a great month of flowers/plants from bee orchid to knapweed and many in between, dragon/damselflies, moths, mammals and seeing other wildlife as the month really took me nicely into summer. There has been some fantastic weather this month and I have taken in so many nice views at different places. My year lists are all in healthy places after this month. Much like April this year this month hinged on a phenomenal week away and a brilliant bank holiday weekend where we did and saw so much with Yorkshire and the jubilee weekend.

Now onto my birds of the month and in a bit of an evolution in the choosing again this month I have shared it three ways. My consistent star bird of the month is Gannet with the many we saw at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and other bits of the Yorkshire coast and how amazing it was to be immersed into a natural spectacle seeing and hearing them and feeling so embraced by this as one of my greatest times this year. My big standout moment is a bird I’d not seen for years that we saw on the boat trip along the Beaulieu River in the New Forest the majestic Honey Buzzard a big early moment of my month. Then I have also gone for a landmark moment bird of the month, the Black-browed Albatross of Bempton which it was a true honour to see and is certainly one of my moments of the year seeing this spectacular bird from the other side of the world. It stemmed from me deliberating between the albatross and Honey Buzzard and I was thinking things like I won’t see an albatross every year and it was a true dream moment for me. So for months I feel I need it, not designed to be every month, I will add one bird of the month that is a significant moment to my year overall where I feel there are others that should share to title. The other seabirds on our Yorkshire adventure, the Dipper, Great Crested Grebes, Peregrines as well as House Martin and Swift were among other candidates. I am thinking half way through the year now my bird of the month will probably be a one year only thing as it’s proving harder to just pick one. But I have enjoyed doing these type of posts monthly whereas before I only did them in certain months of the year so next year I can still list key bird species of my month as I have enjoyed doing that in these posts. I hope you all have a nice July and thanks for all your support this month.

Meadow Flowers

The Fritillaries and Cowslips are putting on a good show this spring. Our efforts to encourage them to spread, while reducing the tough grasses, are starting to pay off. Fritillaries in the Meadow. Cowslips in the Meadow.

Califlora - polychromos pencil over watercolour

Still one of my favourite drawings, but I love the test sheet too. When I make commissions, I draw two identical outlines on the same acid-free paper. One sheet gets used to test everything & becomes like that damaged portrait in the Oscar Wilde book, while the other becomes the nice shiny final artwork. Once the finished piece has shipped, the test sheet is the part I get to keep. I return to these sheets again and again, to relearn ways to draw difficult subjects.

I live in the UK and probably won't ever meet the Californian wildlife in this drawing for real. So it was cool to get to research parasitic plants, fritillaries, etc from somewhere else in the world!
