How I started my 2012 :)

January 2012: Hidden Villa, a photo by apple-pine on Flickr.

With pigs and chickens, with lots of light and fog on the shore line.



Light was changing very rapidly and I was not able to catch any of it in it's true color but I definitely had fun splashing colors on little card of watercolors (my resting place form a wonderful craft tone of my current sketchbook :)

October 2011: Lunch Run

October 2011: Lunch Run, a photo by apple-pine on Flickr.

Drawing after running is always a bit of a challenge - but always feels great :)
