My sketchbooks are a place of pure play for me. Sketching is a way to experience where I am, a way of relating to where I live, what I’m doing, and where I’m going. With a sketchbook available, I always have entertainment – sketching people while waiting in line at Costco or the back of a pickup truck when stuck in traffic.

My sketchbox has traveled to Japan, Central America and Europe, and I can look at these and I’m immediately drawn back to what it was like to be there. I can remember exactly what was going on around me, even though it was years ago.

Winter and Spring

This is what I see in our neighbor's yard when I sit at my computer. 
Quail love the bird  feeder in winter, 



And ever changing color in  the spring and summer!
Just did this sketch this morning.

Thanks Randy and Sue!

Green  rolling hills and  trails at  Greenbank Farm
in the spring.


On into the afternoon and evening, often with a glass of wine
out somewhere, endless material, Holmes Harbor in the afternoon
and from Bush Point at sunset.
