Robin sat beside me in the grass as I drew her beautiful house in Maryland, all decorated for fall. Robin's an artist, photographer and mom of two, and we chatted about the influence Urban Sketchers and Everyday Matters has had on us. Her pre-school daughter, Emmy, drew a picture of herself and gave it to me, addressed to "Mr. Steven." Thanks for everything, Robin!
Looking south across the ship canal, I was thinking how different this would have looked when the canal was begun in 1911. Many more evergreens and far fewer golds and oranges. I doubt there would have been any alizarin crimsons.
