I've been so busy with Christmas commissions and shows that I haven't made it out with my tree journal lately. The weather Christmas Day was sunny and quite warm for December, so my present to myself was a couple of hours in the forest between family events. It was lovely to spend that time sitting with trees (and Mr. Darcy) and doing a little art just for myself.

And just because it's a beautiful spot, here's the morning walk photo I took earlier in the day. I'm thinking of doing a painting in this light.

I love my park. It's such a huge part of my quality of life.
