I'm so pleased you like these drawings Rod.
I love the quote by Rumi too. Yes, it's relatively easy to be aware of the beauty of all that surrounds us when we are in a well cared-for garden, with flowers there at their peak of perfection ~ As these camellias were.
But then to realize beauty is all around us wherever we are, requires a different sort of 'seeing.' Makes me so happy to be an 'artist' ~ To appreciate beauty in unexpected places.
I went to an Australian native orchid display over the weekend and today I hope to draw some of the most interestingly shaped ones. 🦋
