I can't Dance but I can Sketch


While healing from an injury I've been less active than usual. 
I especially miss my dancing. 
But having my art has been a saving grace. 
I've been sketching directly in my daily journal 
(InkPressions book, Tomoe River paper) more than ever. 


Sketching from observation is still so pleasurable, 
but I've also added memory sketching into my practice. 
Often it's a combination. 

Wishing you all a Holiday Season filled with beauty & kindness!

  1. It’s wonderful that your art has become such a meaningful outlet during your recovery. Sketching from both observation and memory sounds like a beautiful way to capture moments! Wishing you a peaceful and inspiring holiday season ahead. I just shared a blog post, let me know what you think.

  3. Oh Rita, 'm so glad you are back writing again -- but I'm sorry to hear you have been sidelined so long with an injury. I hope your healing period is nearing (or has ended) its completion. I love both these pieces but the winter one especially calls to me. And I love seeing your writing with it as well. A peek inside your world.
