A few thoughts to go with this sketch from a very full day at Wingate University with my oldest daughter, Catherine, for freshman orientation: *It was as much orientation for me (a parent) as it was for her. *Information overload hit me about noon. Day wasn't over until 6 pm. Whew! *Overall impression: Amazed at … Continue reading Orientation

Encouragement from Across the Ages
I came across this quote on Ian Sideaway's fabulous drawing blog: "Do not fail as you go on to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worthwhile, and it will do you a world of good." (Cennino Cennini) In case you do not know who Cennino Cennini … Continue reading Encouragement from Across the Ages
The Habit of Attention
Sitting here in the overwhelm that seems to be my life these days, I flip through my sketchbook to begin drawing on a blank page. This is the last drawing entered in my Handbook Journal, drawn last Tuesday at Baptist Hospital waiting for my dear mom to come out of surgery for breast cancer. What … Continue reading The Habit of Attention
A Must Share!
Something about my little beach drawrings made me think of Maurice Prendergast, an artist I've admired for years.

You simply … Continue reading A Must Share!

This sets me on a course to find and collect more sea stones and sea glass thru the week.Day 2: Bent … Continue reading Searching & Finding
On Parade
I was in my morning walk "zone", lost in thought, when I became aware that I was being watched. Looking up from sand and shells, I saw seagulls, hundreds of them, lining the beach where waves meet the sand, all of them standing looking my direction. It was as if they had tweeted each other … Continue reading On Parade
Splurging at the Factory
Friday mornings at the Factory here in Kernersville is one of the highlights of my week. There may be only one other than myself, or there might be four of us, but we have such fun drawing and talking together. I'm incredibly behind in showing you the drawings from these sessions, but here's one with … Continue reading Splurging at the Factory
Quaint Alley
Off Main Street, downtown Kernersville (or K'ville, as many of us call it), there's a quaint little alley with a few shops and a restaurant, called the Bistro B. Though you don't see it well in this sketch, the Bistro is directly on your left with tables and umbrellas for dining outside. I have loved … Continue reading Quaint Alley
