Finished pen and ink illustration of a hawthorn tree. This is of one of my favourite hawthorns on the Downs, a very magical tree. I love hawthorns, they are wonderful for so many reasons; food, medicine, sheltering and nourishing a host of wild creatures and also their own inherent beauty and uniqueness. #hawthorn #crataegus #southdowns #sussex #naturalhistoryillustration #naturejournal #natureart #natureartist #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #tempuradesign #illustrationnowOne of the things I love about Winter is that you have to look a little deeper to see all the beauty around you. It doesn't come to you like trees full of blossom or a field of wildflowers... You have to go to it. But when you do you are richly rewarded; in the light shining through a bramble leaf; in the tiny, tender new shoots of cleavers; in the muted browns and greens of the landscape, in the steel grey skies and golden sun. Winter is a time where we have to go deeper and the land itself can show us how. Just by taking the time to open our senses and really look, it takes us by the hand and lead us into a place of subtlety and dreaming. #winter #bramble #beauty #natureWood tiger moth, Parasemia plantaginis. 🦋 I loved painting the striking patterns on this little guy. Moths are one of my absolute favourite things to paint, though I only really started doing them to highlight their relationships with the plants. Now they have become a passion all of their own. I love the way one interest leads to another, it makes life endlessly fascinating. #mothillustration #mothart #mothsmatter #mothsofinstagram #britishmoths #lepidoptera #naturalhistoryillustration #naturejournal #natureartWishing you all a happy and blessed Winter Solstice. 💙❄️ The longest night is a time of darkness, rest and dreaming. This year I will be dreaming of a kinder world in which people are less ruled by fear and begin to see the inherent radiance of their own hearts. This is an old painting of mine which was part of a series celebrating the Celtic fire festivals. #wintersolstice #magic #winter #illustration #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #tempuradesign
