little golf pencils will always remind me of my dad. he played golf six days a week for as long as i knew him (on the seventh day, he fished). i remember him leaving trails of these little pencil nubs all around the house. such a fond memory.
one of the FIVE sketchbook i started here in vermont.
i never thought i could draw “people” very well, so i decided to just dive in and devote an entire sketchbook to drawing wilma. i know there is some controversy over the 10,000 hours rule, but i believe in it. and for me, it works . . . and isn’t that what matters ?
wilma doing what she does best.
i started five different sketchbooks here in vermont.
1. the book of wilma.
2. sketching/writing with my left hand.
3. an everything sketchbook.
4. writing with something i found in nature.
5. flowers + plant life.
i’m going to be one busy girl.

this bowl was at the SHOJI HAMADA MUSEUM in mashiko. the museum, which is also the former studio + residence of shoji hamamda, is an incredible experience. i highly recommend a visit if you are in tokyo.

dessert served with a wooden stick. the colour of this mochi was SO beautifully intense.
i finally turned in my manuscript to chronicle books for my FRANCE SKETCHBOOK and i feel 121 pages LIGHTER ! the book is a compilation of sketches and photos from my sojourns in france. it will be out in spring 2017 . . . stay tuned.
france.
i’ve been working really hard on my upcoming book (the french sketchbook, chronicle books). the book will be filled with sketches from my travel journals of france. curating this book is proving MUCH more difficult than meets the eye. i’m taking six sketchbooks and rolling them in one book, along with photos. i have an impending deadline and am trying to beat the clock !

jardin du luxembourg
paris, france.
i LOVE the scattering of green chairs throughout this garden. they tell such a story the way they are left positioned. in groupings, some facing each other, some facing away from each other, and the alone ones off by themselves. so obscure. so fascinating to me.

i fell in love with these leather wallets at the historical museum in belmont, vermont. they are from the 1800’s yet they are so au courant. i would love to be seen with either one of these TODAY !
