I know it's not perfect but I'm pretty proud of this one. Practice with colored pencil.

A colored pencil portrait of my newest plant family. I don't usually name my plants, but this polka-dot plant really seems to like being called Rorschach.

Doodling with colored pencil, because I'm getting frustrated with my materials. Incidentally, this is my first drawing in a new sketchbook. Not terrible.

On Sunday we took the church kids to our nearby Greyhound rescue place to meet the dogs, and now they're on my mind. (I painted this with coffee)

My sketchbook doubles as a journal, so most pages look something like this. This page was inspired by the public hearing I went to- the voters passed a tax referendum to increase the education budget, but our governor is trying to pass a budget that ignores the referendum, gives a tax cut to wealthiest families, and reduces funding to public education. This page features my frustration and rage. Don't let the empty chairs fool you, though- we filled the hearing room and two overflow rooms. There were over 50 teachers and parents testifying. It was really something great. I just can't draw people.

I went to an ESOL training on Saturday to learn some ways I can help the immigrant population in my area. The training took place at a synagogue. The kitchen was nice.
