Here’s a “sketch”/painting of the Abbey in Senanque with the lavender in bloom. I’ve never been there, but one day I will. This was done in my sketchbook with watercolor pencils and ink. I’ve done a quick sketch of this place once before – see here.
Senanque Abbey: Watercolor and Ink
A friend of mine gave me a Moleskine sketchbook a couple weeks ago. I finally started putting things in there. It’s been freeing. It’s a “sketchbook”, which means that whatever I put in there doesn’t have to be perfect. I’m just practicing. The pages are not like huge, empy canvasses, which tend to be extremely intimidating. Here, I can draw several pictures on a page, add color, erase, use ink, pencil, watercolor, whatever. I take it with me everywhere now, and have my watercolor pencils close at hand as well. I’ve bought a watercolor brush-pen, and WOW!, that’s nice to have around. Anyway, here’s the first couple of pages.

Here’s a compilation of “meeting minutes” I’ve jotted down recently. The more detailed the “minutes”, the longer the meeting was.
Very, very long meeting
Nothing to draw but my trusty Blistex
No clue what this was supposed to be
Colorful swirly thingees
Large jaw, huh?
One of the guys was wearing this shirt
My hand in a meeting this morning
