She figured out I was drawing her and gave me a big smile as she got off. I didn’t have time to finish her bearded partner though I wished I did. He had a lovely gentle face.
It’s been a crazy week at work leaving me no energy to draw or paint in the evening. My mother ( see her artwork from the 50s here) arrives tonight for a nearly weeklong visit. I’m hoping to do some drawing while she’s here and I start a plein air painting workshop on Sunday with Elio Camacho.

Have a lovely time at your plein air workshop Jana. I had a look at his blog – looks like it will be very colourful!
Now – does your mother draw and paint as well and will we be seeing her doing a guest spot on your blog?

Jana, I am blown away by your journal and sketch blog…there is so much to look at…all very interesting, it is quite a find.
I am tucked down way south on this planet in a city on the coast of New Zealand…called Dunedin…some call it the Edinburgh of the South.
I’ve painted since I can remember. Thanks for creating such an amazing place to hone into. Cheers ~ Anni
