Back to the Sketchbook

Last week was the traditional family trip to the forest. If you see a Ve*riz*on Wireless coverage map and find the hole in their cell coverage in PA, that is exactly where our cabins are. Making a phone call requires a 15 minute drive to the top of a hill--OR a short hike up the steepest trail nearby and up 10 flights of stairs to the top of this fire tower!!!

The drive up with my sister was wonderful and despite our cabin being right next to state route (very loud trucks) the week made for a great vacation!! I had forgotten how relaxing it is to just draw. I found myself thinking of what I tell my students--"You're not done yet! You have a little more time so try to find at least 5 more details you can add"--which lead to some detailed little drawings in my sketchbook!


I'm feeling some large scale drawings coming soon!!!
