Week 15 - Sketching 

4/9/2014

Yesterday I took a beautiful drive down to Penticton and back.  I drove through Kamloops, Merritt, Peachland, and Summerland to get there.  This took me over a couple mountain passes, past beautiful trees, lakes, rocks and incredible views.  I live in a beautiful place, and I am fortunate.  

Of course, as I drove I took it all in and I sketch and painted in my head the whole way which naturally leads me to a week of sketching.  This is happening for 2 reasons:  

1.  I need to actually sketch all the ideas I came up with.

2.  I have so many paintings in my head now that I need to get them on to some large canvas.  I just gesso'd my largest canvas to date... 24 x 30, and can't wait to start.

There is so much beauty.
