In 2023, I returned to traveling outside my home area, both to visit family and friends and to experience being in foreign lands again. What a joy! Part of the fun is bringing along my sketchbook. I filled pages with sights like Oregon's Crater Lake and places farther afield in the Netherlands, Marseille, and Paris. Drawing cements my memories like nothing else and adds a welcome reason to pause when the on-the-road schedule becomes taxing. And when I get home, I've got seeds for new full-scale works. Win, win, win!
