Sketching the Pine Cones of Viola, California
Back to California sketches. We were sitting outside eating breakfast and painting in our sketchbooks. The air was cool and the sun was strong. The creek was higher, faster, and louder than it had been the day before. What a beautiful place. We walked some trails to a clearer spot to get a good view of the mountains. Breathtaking!
Now, back home in the city, in a very different part of the country, I am enjoying my sketches. They all remind of the things we did and saw there. Even this simple sketch of the pine cones reminds me of the mountains.
Every little thing you put in your sketchbook journal is a big memory.

Love your little pinecones. Your work is nice and fluid. Very pretty. I just found your blog. I am sort of new to blog land, come over and see me sometime
Catherine, as always--you make the simplest things look appealing! It keeps me sketching/watercoloring...
