Thank you for your kind comments on my little ink drawings - I really appreciate your encouragement. I haven't done much drawing since I was a youngster, and more or less stopped completely as I became a photographer. Come to think of it, before #DrawingAugust2015, my last attempt at drawing or painting was an intensive week-long class at a museum school. It was intense; drawing all morning and painting all afternoon. The funny part is, I was taking classes because my first photography show was coming up and I wanted access to the museum's darkroom. That's where I was at night!
Ancient history. Or herstory.
The perpetual Task List.
The neighbors with their illegal fireworks.
Whether Piper needs a dental appointment.
If an affordable vehicle will miraculously appear.
And if so, will it be before my car implodes?
And so on.
So....
when a half-hour walk over hill and dale
with a happy companion...
takes you to a studio that looks like this...
and you've remembered to bring insect repellent,
a water bottle, and treats for the mid-sketching game of
"Waaaait....go FIND it!"...

| "This is the Waaaait part! Look how good I am at this!" |
well, it's a gift to spend 15 minutes or so in quiet focus.
On a little plant next to your knee, say.
And even if you have to get back up and walk again,
before you can sit a little while longer...
It's all good.
Piper says so!

If you celebrate Independence Day,
I hope you are having a good one!
And if you don't celebrate the Fourth of July, perhaps you might consider celebrating Piper Day? It's a floating holiday, comes around as often as you like, and is suitable for celebrating in all sorts of happymaking ways :)
