Not all trees go bare in the winter. Some keep their leaves and needles, not letting go until the new growth is established.

Glass Jug with Grapes, Sketch 053

How did it sit upright?

Glass jug, Roman, circa 3rd century CE

And with this sketch, I filled up my first sketchbook. I don’t even remember when or where I got the sketchbook. I had it a very long time before using it. The first sketch is dated 07 December 2014 and the last one 22 March 2015. There were lot of breaks in the chronology, as I stopped and started several times. My kit has the sketchbook, a 2B pencil, an eraser, and a pencil sharpener.

Sketchbook #1, all filled up!

The honeysuckle in Grandmother’s Flower Garden was about to burst into bloom when I was there. This garden is next to the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange, Texas.
