John and I sit by the water all the time. The view isn’t always the greatest, and on this day, it was grey and wet. Not many people out except the die hards like us who sit in their cars and wait for it to rain. I love the afternoon storms in Florida. You canContinue reading “Sketching the everyday subject”

First Day of Summer Sketch
Good morning! It is the first day of summer and to celebrate, I did a quick sketch in my Morning Pages to celebrate the day.

Last year, it was attacked by local wildlife. I looked up home remedies and one suggestion was painting strawberry rocks to putContinue reading “Strawberry rocks”
