Where has the last month gone? Into sketching sessions at lunch, birdfeeder stakeouts, digging up the garden bed, riding the bus to work and home again, working my day job, thinking about going to school, taking notes on the garden, catching up at home after the work week.

At Beacon Hill Park, I’ve been visiting the great blue heron a lot at lunchtime. For a while he was hanging out right along the shore and I could sketch him at close range. I’ve been playing around with doing some monoprints based on the field sketches.

So, I actually have been making a few things, but just haven’t had that extra time to post. I guess that’s good, in a way. Anyway, I won’t be around here much for another couple of weeks. I’ll be going back to part-time hours soon, so time won’t be so scarce. But first, company is coming! My mom arrives tomorrow. See you in a few weeks!
