I have dozens of sketchbooks. And, since our current sense of time and scheduling has been seriously challenged, I have found myself meandering through these small journals that have taken me on many journeys throughout the years. They are diaries to me. And....I have found that my freshest and most appealing observations have been found on these small pages. They have seen me through vacations with family and friends, through the births of grandchildren and to emergency and waiting rooms at various hospitals. The sketches are often unfinished and imperfect, yet somehow hit the mark.
This is one of my favorites: an 87 year old woman in the waiting room of a knee surgeon who kept saying to her companion (over and over again): ..."and that's another example of how things are too complicated these days".
The year: 2012.
She had no idea.
