All things nature, animals, art & life.
Continuing my botanical art journey, I’m excited to share my second drawing of the Abutilon (Sevitzia) flower! This elegant, bell-shaped bloom has such a delicate structure that it’s a joy to capture on paper. Whether you’re a fellow artist, flower lover, or just enjoy watching the creative process, this sketch highlights why the Abutilon is a favorite among botanical enthusiasts.
Take a Walk With Me (Part 2) | Relaxing Beach Front Walk with Nature & Fun
Welcome back to Part 2 of our ocean walk! If you joined me in Part 1, you’ll remember the gentle rhythm of waves, the soft sunlight, and the calm hush of the pier. Today, we’re stepping a little further along the coast, where palm trees sway, the ocean sparkles, and the energy of seaside fun mixes with peaceful nature vibes.
If you love floral sketches, botanical illustrations, or just watching art come to life, my latest creation is for you: a hand-drawn illustration of the Abutilon (Sevitzia) flower. Known for its soft, bell-shaped petals and gentle, lantern-like form, this bloom is a favourite among botanical artists for its elegance, charm, and natural detail.
The afternoon begins in that gentle, almost magical way that only quiet coastal hours can offer. The sun stretches lazily across the sky as you step onto the pier, its wooden boards warm beneath your feet. A soft, salty breeze drifts in from the ocean, carrying hints of seaweed and distant waves. For a few moments, the world feels simple again - slower, softer, and just wide enough to breathe.
Every now and then, nature turns up when you least expect it. This time, the unexpected visitor was a European wasp, also known as the German yellow jacket. What began as a brief buzz through the yard turned into a rare opportunity to slow down and observe an insect most of us usually see only in passing.
