I almost didn’t post this one. These are the final pages of my blue purse-size Field Notes Memo Book, which came in a set of three colors named the “Sweet Tooth” collection. I grabbed a travel set of gouache paints and just started playing in the above sketch, the idea coming from a photo I once saw of a local meadow with bluebonnets. I used the book’s blue paper for sky and pond, but the greens of the trees and shrubs dried too dark to see detail.
The last pages were used to play around with my favorite Celtic style of letters. I am not a calligrapher by any means; I just draw what I see, even fancy fonts I find in books or online.
