My current medical challenges wither in the face of the tsunami that has wiped out so many lives and broken so many remaining hearts. I listen to an update on this news as I write. My predicament is, for the moment, just a small mistake marring my otherwise vibrant life.

I love Dr. Martin’s watercolors for their brilliance. They really explode on rice paper, along with Japanese ink, but I seem to be out of rice paper at the moment. These Everyday Art sketches are just whimsical, easy play. Maybe they’ll wake something up inside me. Maybe they’re better than I think. Who knows.
