Lately I have been doing more reading and errand-running more than sketching or painting. Yesterday, on the way to a meeting with our insurance lady, I picked up this oak leaf in our yard and lightly sketched it with a pencil as Bill drove us to the meeting. Most leaves here either stay green on the trees through winter or a few of them turn to golden-brown and fall. Red oak leaves are rare! So of course I had to record it in my journal — I inked it in later, then added watercolor.
Our daughter set me up to check out ebooks at her library so I could read them on my iPad Mini. The first book I downloaded was The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I vaguely remember seeing the movie years ago but had never read the book. As is the case with most books-turned-to-movies, the book was so much better! I often jot down lines from books that I especially like.
