Christmas Botanicals Class


 Time has flown this fall and here we are at Thanksgiving! I have been busy giving nature journaling classes online this fall and am excited to announce my online Christmas class: Christmas Botanicals! This class is all about connecting with nature through the month of December. With videos you can watch whenever you want, we will dive into nature walks, learning all about conifers, berries, and pine cones, discuss the historic use of greens for decorating at this time of year, and of course spend time painting all these lovely things! You can find all the details over on my website here

You'll also see this class advertised: it's part one of my signature class on famous artists and authors and the nature that they loved. I can't wait to explore with students the nature that captured the imaginations of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and Beatrix Potter and paint it all into our journals. This would make a great Christmas present for someone!


I'm off to work on the Christmas class and then get some pies baked! We aren't doing a traditional Thanksgiving meal this year -- just soup and salad and pies, ALL THE PIES! Everyone has chosen a pie and I need to bake them today. For those of you celebrating, have a Happy Thanksgiving! A heart of gratefulness can be one of the best things we take with us into 2021.
