Afternoon sketch in the daily journal....

 I am on the road for the next two months with my children --a tradition I have started as of a few years back----ten months in the studio to prepare for shows and two months on the road - to replenish, sketch and travel with Finn and Remy, two duffel bags and paints...five States and abroad --New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, ... Switzerland, Germany and England.  I am traveling with my sketchbook, daily journal, watercolours, coloured pencils, acrylics, pens, graphite....and camera. It's good to work small scale again to sketch watercolours...and of course the studio in San Francisco is still open by appointment.

Sketching....Watercolours and Coloured Pencils....

 I sat outside with my kids this afternoon in Stockbridge, MA to sketch by the pond...it's been a long time since I have had a watercolour brush in hand with paper as I am so used to the larger canvas...and what a good feeling it was...as I won't be by the studio these next couple months, my little satchel of paints and paper will be close by my side...

This piece feels like the good one to wrap up the Spring with and head into the summer months...I am heading to the Coast - East Coast - for the summer months with our two children to fulfill the bicoastal part of me. I will be back in the studio in early September and will be posting small works along my travels to the East Coast and over the pond in Europe. But for now, I hang up the painted apron and pull out the pencil, ink and watercolours.....
