If you’ve read my recent posts, you recognize this style of art and the layout.<\/strong> I think it’s how art, nature, humanity\u00a0evolves – we all borrow from each other, or even ourselves.<\/p>\n

I recently developed some sketchbook pages for a project in the Schulman Grove of bristlecones near Bishop, Ca. I showed them\u00a0on this blog here\u00a0<\/a>and here\u00a0<\/a>, but it was the Forest Service’s\u00a0kind words about the style, content\u00a0and design that got me thinking that this might work well in a publication – like a magazine.\u00a0 So, of all the many stories, articles and books\u00a0I’ve published, my connections with 48-North, the Northwest’s largest sailing\u00a0magazine has been the most fun. I’ve written for them for\u00a0years, and so I banged on Rich the editor, door and asked\u00a0if he’s like to give me a full page once a month for my little sketchbook idea. Above is the first effort coming up for the\u00a0July iisue.\u00a0For June’s online issue (my otters will be in July), click\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I was casting around for my first month’s subject<\/strong>, I was\u00a0in Port\u00a0Townsend standing at the front door of Gallery Nine, the gallery that both Nancy and I show in. Tourists were coming and going, delivery trucks were\u00a0bringing\u00a0wine to the next door wine store, UPS truck was parked in mid-lane\u00a0– and here comes a big river otter meandering right by us. They’re pretty common down there since Water Street is only a few hundred feet from the ocean, but seeing a 30 lb, 4-ft long\u00a0adult river otter dodging cars always gets your attention. A couple of tourists were plain flabbergasted. So, I realized\u00a0that’s what the first sketchbook had to be about, and\u00a0I learned a lot about those interesting critters.<\/p>\n

Cheesecake Desert:<\/strong> And speaking of critters, here are two of the three new kids in our meadow next to the cherry tree, taken by Nancy from the dining room window.<\/p>\n
