untitled sketch, 6 x 4 in.
I didn't begin painting until I was 37, five years ago. Prior to that, my only real "art" experience involved a ton of sketching and drawing as a girl. I love pencil and paper--the sound the graphite makes on the surface of the paper, the mess it can make on your hands, the ability to erase!
I don't do much drawing anymore--simple thumbnails before I paint are as far as I tend to get. But just sketching this brief piece brought back tactile memories, and a renewed fondness for the line....(something that doesn't truly exist in nature, but sure works when you're drawing). Working a little more drawing into my life might not be such a bad thing. :)

Julie, I enjoy your writing as much as I admire your painting. I find myself say, "Yeah, exactly!" while reading your blog. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you had a fun time at McKinney Falls this morning.
So lovely...
I love this sketch, it's really eloquent.
Lovely sketch! And, YES!, to the thumbnails. Beautiful work.
