Our other mother

 

Happy mother's day! Sunday 14th March is mother's day here in the UK but as well as celebrating our relatives and other important women in our lifes, we are also celebrating our other mother aka mother nature. Parents groups and children's illustrator over on Instagram have started a #ourothermother campaign to get creatives to rise awareness for climate change again and celebrate the beauty and wonders of plant earth. This drawing of mine celebrates mother nature and shows her beauty and peacefulness as she holds the plant in her arms. 

Draw the oceans

Over on Instagram, green peace have been running a draw the oceans campaign where by artists draw what you can find in the oceans. Like many, I picked to draw a whale. This cute but not so little whale lives in the oceans is very happy. 

Did you know Whales breath air like we do and cannot breath underwater so have to stay close to the surface while underwater. Most whales can only stay underwater for around 35 minutes at a time.
