melissa doranDublin in the sunshine is so beautiful!I started a monthly meet up for a small group to sketch the plants at the National Botanic Gardens and it has quickly become one of the highlights of each month. You might spot a few new additions to my portfolio where I developed some of the work from last month.

I was delighted some of my best buddies were able to make it this time which made it extra special. We also had a few new faces and had a lovely relaxing time before going for a yummy lunch.
