I often find new places while walking with my dog, Harvey. One day, we went farther than usual. The sun was shining, and birds were singing as we followed a winding path that led us to gardens and small cottages.

We also found a small woodland. As we walked in, tall trees surrounded us, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, making the place feel magical. While Harvey explored, I admired the scenery until we came across a small clearing.

In the middle of the clearing stood a small, attractive cabin. Something about it caught my eye, so I walked closer to take a better look. Harvey came along with me as I approached.

When I got closer, I saw a blue door covered in garden plants. It looked so beautiful that I took a photo and made a quick sketch before we continued our walk.

Later that day, I went to my studio and began drawing the blue door. I used Bristol paper from Fabriano and Polychromos colour pencils by Faber-Castell. I added some acrylic touches and finished it with a fixative for coloured pencil art. The finished drawing reminds me of that magical woodland and the blue-door cottage.

Since then, Harvey and I have often explored farther into the outdoors, finding new and interesting places. The blue door is still a special memory, and the drawing reminds me of the beauty around us.
