The Art Ladies Visit

Pretty much everything with a friend is better and art is no exception!  It was great fun a few weeks ago to be hostess to the Art Ladies, as we've come to call ourselves.  This was the brain child of my printmaking mentor, just like mind women, getting together to draw on a Saturday morning once a month and then share over lunch what we made.  Only our second outing, the group decided to explore my home Scientists Cliffs for sketch subjects and fossils.  It was a wonderful exercise in appreciation to see where I live from the eyes of newcomers to the landscape.  Also, it was a nice kick in the pants to myself to pick up my sketchbook and pencil here at home more often! 

I feel in love with a wild grape vine while on the beach which turn into an ink line study that I'm hoping will be a fun start for a new printmaking project.
