Good News, Bad News
Bad news first: our boarding stable is closing. We’ve been there for fifteen years. Finding a new place was nerve wracking.
Good news: we found a place. Whew! It’s not as easy to find a boarding stable nowadays as it was way back when. There just aren’t as many operating anymore.
More good news: the new place has lots of critters to paint and draw.
More bad news: we’ll be saying goodbye to Snip, the sweetest kitty, a barn cat in her teens who loves horses and people.
I’ll miss you, Snip.

I think this was the first winter I spotted robins in every month but, perhaps, January. but instead of just passing through in a flock, they’re now here to stay.
Nineteen and Twenty
Nearing the end of this Stillman and Birn sketchbook, all done in ink using fountain pens and ink washes. Ink has become my favorite medium, part drawing, part painting, but the ink flow from a fountain pen is its own unique thing.
