I haven't been blogging much lately. My dad hasn't been well. He's in the hospital in Kelowna, an hour away, and we've all been taking rotating shifts sitting with him. He's 86 and has had a wonderful life. It's hard to see him struggling now, but we're glad to still have him with us. I've been so busy between working, sitting with dad, and putting together my new book proposal (more on that soon) that I've forgotten to go sketching lately! Today was the first time I've dipped my brush in water since the Wells trip. It felt good. Sketching is always like a little brain holiday from everything else that's going on. Love it.

Sorry to hear about your Dad..hope he pulls thru and enjoys life again outside the hospital. I'll keep him in my prayers.
Your sketch is lovely! I agree with you that sketching is always a little brain holiday... even in difficult times, it helps us recover our energy.
So sorry about your dad.
I love the sketch and wish I could pop by for your talk next month.
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I can relate to it as I'm going through health issues with my mom.
But, I'm delighted to find the painting today. I find it so refreshing to play with my paints when the other areas of my life get too stressful. Thanks for sharing this bit of light with us.
and congratulations on the upcoming talk and book signing!!
Wow. I really love this sketch. Congratulations on the talk. Hope your dad isn't suffering too much.
I would love it too!!
Sketching is a great soother as well as release. Hope your Dad's health improves.
I love your journals!
Thanks everyone! My dad's doing much better now. He's feisty enough to be mad about being stuck in the hospital. That's a good sign. Last year when he was sneaking out of the hospital, the staff tried to stop him saying "Mr. McQuaid, you can't go. You're attached to the IV!" to which he grumbled "I'll mail it back to you." We have our work cut out for us keeping him in there this time.
