Since July I have been trying to capture the magic of fireflies on a Summer evening and finally, this month while sitting in my backyard, I came up with this illustration. It’s also the official portrait of my house in Woodstock, NY. I hope you like it!
As usual, here are a few reference sketches, because even when drawing my background I have tried to do keep up my practice of observational drawing and document some of the grasses that grow here. I haven’t bothered identifying them but it made me really appreciate the beauty and biodiversity of an ‘unkept’ yard.
You can keep your land mowers!
