January's sketchbook

February 4, 2013

To be honest, in recent years I haven't been devoted to keeping a sketchbook. Is that a confession? Perhaps it sounds that way because of the perception that artists are to carry a sketchbook the same way people these days are glued to their smartphones. At least, that's what we were taught in school. No, I have always worked out ideas on individual pieces of paper, as I talk about here. But this year I started the practice of either writing, drawing, or painting daily, or almost daily, in a sketchbook. It's something I have always wanted to do, but I haven't committed myself. So far, it's going pretty well. Here's a look at a few pages from January.

So what about you, do you keep a sketchbook, or journal?

Got home. Sat down a sec & Bu came over for a rub.
Freshly picked, the first zinnia & African daisy of the season.

Giant two-thumb-width pod!
The kindergarten children made scarves in my class yesterday.
Just picked a pound of garden strawberries. These are an alpine ever-bearing variety, that come off the vine w/out leaves, so you have to eat them quickly!
Collagraph print by a kindergartener in my class this week. She wanted to do two colors.
Last night's strawberry rhubarb crumble pie turned out deliciously. Recipe from @joythebaker

It occurred to me this afternoon as I'm outside weeding, that cabbage leaves remind me of floppy dog ears, basset hound especially.
I got mail from a girl in my pre-k class this past year. (sniff, sniff)
Honey bees love the penstemon!
