Last garden sketches and some wishes

Some things I wish for:

• rain
• a good night's sleep
• more time 

I can't do anything about the rain, but I can try to simplify the things that are in my control and that is what I'm going to do. And it'll be fun. 

I'm going to take a short break and snatch some time to play and rest and dream. 

I've got two fun trips in July, though, one next weekend to the wedding of a close family friend in Bloomington and the second during the last weekend in July to Portland, Oregon for the first Urban Sketchers' symposium! I'll be posting about both, but of course. And other stuff, too, whenever it emerges and whatever it is.

Here are the last sketches from gardens in France: Happy July, everyone! Thank you so much for your interest and your support--I'm very grateful for both.

Creative people always want more time! Have a great break.

Gorgeous sketches, Laura! How you manage to convey rich tropical foliage with just a sepia pen is beyond me ... absolutely fantastic.
Hope you get some rest ... Get some rain ... Find some time...

Enjoy your break - as I'm enjoying these sketches.

Beautiful looking gardens--and as I write, I am hearing rain outside, Laura--hope you're getting it in Chapel Hill, too.
