It is hard to calculate the enormity of the satisfaction that can be derived from messing around with pens, paints, pencils, and ink. Below are some of the pages I did in Palm Springs this year.

They make that fine balance between carefulness and carefree expression look so easy to achieve. It's not. But it's fun to try.
I always enjoy seeing your sketches, as well as Mary Ann's and Pam's. What fun you girls must have together at your art retreats!
