Solstice

I got a new sketchbook/notebook with blank pages. It's been a few decades since I've had one. Opening it up and putting something on the first page is the hardest part, because up to then it is blank perfection. But in going through my old notebooks, sometimes the best things are the ones that I was most frustrated with at the time.

Ripley is not impressed.

I was supposed to do a bunch of things today, but I've had a sore throat for a couple of days and I decided a nap was in order. I did finally drag myself to the art store and then to get pet supplies and groceries. On this, the longest of nights, I'm ready for the days to get longer.
