tried to combine several things on a same page - looks a little odd but still tells you pretty much what was in front of me in the park ;)

View from the park bench
I enjoy remaining bare trees around me to see through to the shapes of houses and fences :) Rather cold and windy day in March.
My desk revolution - front view
Another view at my old set-up: funky computer table with a hole on one side which I covered with a book shelf and had all kinds of things in it, on top of it and all around :)
My table today looks very minimalist and I am quite happy about that :)
Sketching in the rain
Cold and rainy day. But when we saw a bit of blue in the sky, decision was quick - to the park! It was raining a bit but not too much - you can see it in the way my Begreen Pilot Precise V5 showed it's relationship with water here :) A. made great progress in soccer that day. And I made this little sketch :)
Cold, windy day after rain.
I tried to get some plein air action on this cold and windy day in February - but gave up at some point and had to finish in the car - hands were too stiff, paper tried to escape and eyes were watery from the wind.
On the image below you can see how I situated myself in the car to finish painting - brown sketchbook is the one I was working in at the moment - but for these sketches I pulled a sheet of nice, absorbant watercolor paper from Arches.

Beginning of Book 28: Sunnyvale Fire Truck
I finished my sketchbook 27 with the series of news digest drawings - CEOs of large corporations and Darwin dominated a few last pages.
New book was in front of me - very different, long since waiting for it's turn to be opened. Brown craft paper, rather rough. From the first 1/4 of page covered with strokes I learned that I will need to clean lead often as it absorbs paper lint. But a lot of fun to play with! I started the book with the drawing of my chance meeting with Sunnyvale Fire Truck!
