Things are going well. I finished a big freelance project and now have time to work on putting up my Fall class schedule on my website. In addition, I'm teaching my Sketching the Journey class which is a lot of fun. We will be combining pen and ink with watercolors to create expressive sketches of places we've traveled. This is the time of year when those of us in the northern hemisphere, flock to rivers, lakes and ocean beaches in search of refreshment to get reprieve from the heat. Since many of you are in the middle of a heat wave I thought it would be fun to do a post to help you "cool off".
Here are some images of one of my nature journals.

As you can see, several of my art pieces are inspired by nature. What is inspiring you? That is the best place to begin making art. Have fun!
