Vacation!

I'm now on day three of vacation and heading out to do some serious exploring/sketching. I went out and about locally yesterday and got one good plein air pastel done and got some good reference photos for some other pieces. I also got my field kit figured out a bit more, and am taking the refined version out with me today for a road test.

So far while here, I've also taken a couple of beach walks and made a gallon (plus a wee bit left over) of beach plum jelly. A friend of my mom's had leftover juice (which is a bit like having leftover gold bullion if you know anything about beach plums) so that's how that happened.

Also, I've been in contact with my RBB author, and I am beyond thrilled with what she has in mind. Part of what I am hoping to do today is get a few reference photos/sketches.

In more traumatic news, I found out my stepdad has read the entire Shades of Grey trilogy. There is not enough brain bleach on the world.
