what's new? there was this lime coconut strawberry smoothie. running errands in echo park & koreatown. doing this and that. tying up loose ends. making plans for an end of september art retreat at the beach. pruning my trees. poking around in the garden. dreaming of a christmas getaway in a clifftop cabin perched above the pacific. the usual.
what about you?
Posting again – LOVE these sketches!!! Especially the “Women in cars sketching”. I’ve been itching to do this and will this week for sure. Such fab inspiration!
My two little adorable chickies have finally laid enough tiny eggs to make an omelette for me and doggie and to trade for produce from my neighbors garden. Before that, been sippin’ a delicious latte and sketching. Watering the front garden and sketching. Planning my front porch addition and sketching… Ain’t life grand?
Well, it’s Sunday, so I just made fabulous waffles from the book Flour Too (or Two, I’m not sure).Now I’m going to work on some applique, and then tonight I’m making Corn Chowder for dinner. Thank you for your inspiration!
Early morning gardening under the overcast sky. Mid-morning shower then reading and painting.
That clifftop cabin sounds like a dream. Can I go?
I’ve been to the “One Direction” concert 2 nights in a row with my 14 yr old daughter and her friends!!! It’s been a blast watching their crazy joy which I recall so easily from my teen years. Music does the heart and soul good. I’ve also been trying to squeeze in some artwork, reading and knitting. Oh…and I follow this wicked good blog called “Dispatch from LA.” You guys should really check it out!
Hi Mary Ann : ) thanks for bringing us along on your last vaca for the summer – enjoyed all your adventures ++ all your wonderful art : )
I’m getting ready to leave for a week in Tucson to do some much needed Resorting – swimming, sketching, lounging, sketching, eat out at fancy restaurants, sketching, it’ll be my B’day week so I get to do WHATEVER I want, ha, hubby said so, ha : )
Ohhhhhhhh, that smoothie looks divine !!!!
Blessings, Sandra in AZ : )
Ah, smoooooothieeeeessssssss….sounds so good! Chore day for me, too. Feels good to have checked a couple of dreaded ones off the ‘to do’ list. Enjoying a smashingly wondrous late afternoon at the cabin. Anticipating chicken satay with peanut sauce for supper. Then a couple of art books, my visual journal, John’s journal to work in (a round robin journal group) and maybe some time on the deck, star gazing. The weekend stretches out in front of me with possibilities. You have to love possibilities! I know YOU do!
Happiness to you, sweet MA.

Packing a tote to teach my “Imaginary Journeys” sketchbook class at a local senior center. On Sunday a pancake breakfast on the deck of the SS Red Oak Victory ship in the Richmond, CA. harbor with friends and some real veterans of WW!!!
Have a great weekend, Mary Anne!
Made a minibook with haikupoems on foto as a birthdaypresent for a friend. Birthdayparty at the friends house outside in the warm summerevening with stars and a nearly full moon above.
Working on church projects and planning my trip to Italy and Paris at the end os Septebmer.
Waiting to dive into some salsa fresca for lunch. Have some loads of laundry in various states of progress. Broke a wine glass while doing the dishes. In vital news all the firewood is split and stacked for the upcoming season.
Leaving the office so I can go home and sketch.
Art Journaling, kitty wrangling, gardening…the usual. 😉
