Drawing in de Victoria Serre and other greenhouses in Rotterdam Zoo / Diergaarde Blijdorp

From the beginning I have been going to Rotterdam Zoo (since 2007), the greenhouses are my favorite place. I still remember how wonderful it was to see many special birds (which I had never seen before) and so many beautiful plants, flowers and trees. It is  a special world and of course it still remains a wonderful place to me. It is nice to sit somewhere to look at everything and to sketch. I got always ideas for my work. It is also a nice place to feel again in harmony with life.  

In this blog I am going to show photos and some sketches made in the greenhouses. For the birds I have another blog: see A blog full of birds.
Enjoy!

Almost the end of Autumn

Leaves as inspiration voor drawings.




When I was walking with my dog I have collected these leaves.
It takes more than nine years until I could draw them...
But it's never too late to start!



 Two drawings almost finished.



A few sketches for icons on my blog.



Autumn is more then gray and  rainy days.
It means more at home (cozy!)
