The sketches I make while on my (nearly) daily fitness walks have been few
and far between. I was encouraged, though, when I saw that our unexpected snowfall
last week didn’t seem to have harmed any of the plum and cherry blooms that are
just getting started. Though the temp was only in the mid-40s, I stopped to
make a quick sketch to celebrate the victory (at left).
I’ve included sketches here that I made at cafés when I had
to duck indoors to warm up before continuing on. Yes, they count, because sometimes
I can’t kick my butt out the door unless I promise myself a break along the
way.
Sketchbook notes: You heard me muttering recently about wanting white paper as a daily-carry during pink tree season but not
wanting to carry a second book, yada-yada-yada. After the small Stillman
& Birn didn’t work out, I chose a lavender Uglybook as my next
daily-carry. It’s pale enough that pink shows up OK – a good compromise during
a precious season. When I go out for serious petal peeping, I’ll bring a larger
white sketchbook, of course.
