For the second year in a row, I have participated in the Brooklyn Art Museum’s sketchbook project<\/a>. Last year, I simply used my sketchbook<\/a> as a visual journal, adding a little autobiographical information and sketching what I saw; my cats, my family, places I visited, and then filled up the blank spaces with other things like postcards and some of my small paintings.
\nAfter being able to see what others did, I realized that while a theme is good, a story is even better. So I wrote a story. Or maybe a nature journal. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy book is a fully illustrated nature book. On each page you will see things that I discovered as a child. I was actually surprised at how many different things I could trace back to the first few years of my life, plants, insects, animals.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI believe that children are natural scientists. Whatever environment they are home in is what they will study. I was fortunate in that my mother routinely let me outside to play. I do believe the happiest hours of my childhood were while I was watching ants, or birds, or tasting various plants. A lot of this play was solitary, but my little sister was often my sidekick as we pulled plantain shoots apart or blew dandelion seeds into the air.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis whole book will be eventually digitized at which time I will share the link with you. But in the meantime, I’ll share a couple pages for a preview.<\/p>\n

So do you remember plants and bugs from your childhood? I am very curious to hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
