A Year of Nature and French
A Year of Nature and French grew from two desires: my wish to learn more of the lovely French language, and my joy in exploring the natural world around me.
I made a commitment to combine these pleasures by creating a drawing a day of something I observed, and learning the French word for what I saw or experienced.
My loose translations were derived from common and scientific names of plants, animals, insects and birds, as well as feelings evoked from personal observations.
I am currently seeking a publisher for a book which will include all 365 illustrations.
These images are an examples of individual drawings from various months of the year.
