This made me tingle. It made me want to pick up my long-neglected sketch book. Pursuing artistic endeavors for the sake of the practice and the connection to self (rather than, say, for money or recognition or any other fleeting prize) is an idea I admire very much. I know that feeling "connection and flow between all the parts of my life," as you describe it ... and am always looking for ways to make it last.
I recently attended an art retreat in Norway and one of the offerings was called “Enchanted Botanicals” (Jenny Brown is the artist). The class was devoted to drawing flowers and layering various paints and inks to give the drawing a dreamy depth. Understorey sounds like the perfect complement to the class. Thanks!

It's so satisfying when it happens. x
