What I did on my spring time vacation

One thing I had hoped to 'get to' during the visit to my hometown last week was updating my website. Under another set of circumstances I might say, regretfully I wasn't able to get to that task, but the truth is, I had a remarkable and bustling time and don't regret a moment. But dear reader do not think my time in Michigan was in the least bit unproductive. Not only did I participate in a flurry of organizing, mending, cleaning, meandering, chitchatting, chewing the fat and shooting the breeze, I also diddled in my sketchbook. So while my website remains hopelessly, nay embarrassingly, out of date, my current sketchbook, once unremarkable, has provided me with much fodder for future work. And isn't that one of the goals for time away?

    oooh..these are amazing! i love how, in the first one, the 'tatooed' body of the upside-down woman ends up looking (to me) like a wonderful turban/headpiece for the right-side-up woman. your women have so much expression...i really get lost in my own imagination, wondering what they're thinking about.

    Thanks ladies! It's nice to have a rooting section! My next challenge is taking some of these ideas beyond the pages of my sketchbook.

    ditto on what Megan said. Intriguing. Loved your blog, too. You are such a yin yangy soul.
