Today’s sketch: I chose today’s quick sketch from our friends vacation photos, with permission. She posted this lovely boat from their journey to Wisconsin and Michigan recently. I will surely paint this when I am back at my easel at some point. I love, LOVE old wood to sketch and can do it justice with paint most times too. This morning it is quiet here at the house. I could have headed off to the studio, but instead I am enjoying the solitude of our four walls. We’ve been living with a bit of remodel construction for the past 6 weeks and today they are all gone, at least for a few days. It has absolutely rattled my cage, so to speak, to the point of a nasty migraine yesterday. Today, as I was deep into thought with each scritch of my pencil, I’ve been propelled back to a memory of me at age somewhere between 12-14. At that time I never went anywhere without my sketch pad and pencil or pastels. I was constantly drawing, creating. At some point in my life I stopped, and I don’t know why. Today I was flooded with a memory of being at my Grandma and Grandpa’s, laying in the middle of the living room floor, in front of the fireplace, with the entire family milling around, drawing. The cousins and siblings were all outside, but I was laying there drawing. Drawing, painting, creating art brings such a joy to my mind, heals me. ##sketchendeavour2024 #sketchendeavour #sketching
