Artist Sarah Hough starts each day by walking her dogs and taking in the beautiful English countryside. She shares what she sees with a quick daily sketch on her blog, how wonderful to be so talented and so generous with those talents. To get a daily sketch straight to your inbox simply subscribe to the newsletter.

By posting these sketches, I hope to offer a momentary pause in busy daily lives and a visual link with nature and the great outdoors, perhaps even bringing a breath of fresh air to brighten up your day.

Up early this morning and tried to have a little chat with the cows over the hedge, but they were a bit too preoccupied with eating their breakfast.
