Januar, 1-15. Etwas verspätet, aber hat Spaß gemacht zu sehen, wie geplante Szenen und spontane Ideen zusammenfließen. Hat irgendwie gefehlt im letzten Jahr!

In Oct. I painted in my Perpetual Journal 3 Queen Butterfly pupae we had then. Fast forward 3 months—now we have 🥰17 Queen Butterfly pupae🥰 on/near our Milkweeds! Maybe they’re descendants of our Oct. pupae/butterflies?

I always enjoy the combination of festive lights and cacti - it seems so Southwest to me! Read about my art process for my Holiday Lights art on my latest blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/celebrating-winter-and-the-holiday-2a6

Journaling subthread was talking about how to start nature journaling more, and this was a suggestion. A course of ?40? short videos. I'm mostly posting to remind myself.

I feel so fortunate to get to see Bobcats in my own yard here in Tucson, AZ! 😍 Here’s a Bobcat I drew recently in my Perpetual Journal. Read more about the Bobcat & see my art process at https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/drawing-complex-vs-simple-subjects

1 of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what was going on this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ showing my art of nature observations from my Tucson, AZ yard 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week: rain hiding the mountains; Mexican Fence Post Cactus; & Milkweed with Aphids.

A joy of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what was going on this same week in previous years. Here’s my PJ showing my art of nature observations from my Tucson AZ yard 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week: Desert Willow leaves (currently green); Desert Broom seeds & Agave (same as previous).
