Sketchbook

 I got this beautiful new sketchbook to take to Savannah. Since we aren't going on that trip I took it to the coast and said to myself "I'm just going to do whatever I want in that sketchbook". And... if I don't like something I'll just paint over it, and when I get to the end I'll turn the book over and paint on the backsides! (I'm not sure why I had to be so adamant about all this)
 Most of my sketchbooks are make from junk paper with homemade covers so this book was a treat to put some marks in.

and... I'll be silly if I want to be and paint anything I want, even vampires.
In between big creative insights (what are those?) I think just having fun leads a person to some places. Vampires... sex and danger. I so enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series, funny, fluff and total pleasure. 
This type of reading is like eating a batch of cookies, and if you know me you know how  much I love cookies!
