May in summer brings a serene stillness to the Todra Valley, where the dry landscape is softened by the gentle shade of a solitary olive tree. Under its gnarled branches, I found a natural studio, a place to sit, draw, and share a quiet picnic.
A picnic here isn’t just a meal; it’s an embrace of the valley’s simplicity. Being present sketching, eating and observing, I felt like a dialogue with the landscape. For an artist, it’s not just about capturing the view but translating the emotions of the place: its isolation, timelessness and quiet strength.
I emptied myself and let the essence of nature fill me.
