It's MLK Day today so I'm home. I picked up a book this past weekend titled When Wanderers Cease to Roam by Vivian Swift. It chronicles the author's month by month stay-at-home journey and "shows how the memories of our past and the delights of our daily lives are always with us, to be savored and celebrated year-round."
One of the things the author recommends doing in January to develop a winter mind is to learn how to draw a tree. "Now is the best time to see what a tree REALLY looks like," she says. I tried it by making a free-hand based on a drawing of hers. I then photographed the drawing and colored it on the computer. I then ran it through some different filters. My effort is shown above.
