Most of the time...

my sketchbook is one of many things that weighs down my purse, but when I reach for it, I'm really glad it's there. Below are two drawings I did recently. Both were drawn from the front seat of my car while Afton slept in her car seat.

I've been taking photos of the area around our [somewhat] local nature center for over a year, as reference material for a [potential] project, but to sit and try to draw a little section of the forest is a whole different type of observation.
