Drawing our futures

Seeing hope there

Sketch of artist Mary Heilmann, from a documentary about her influential 20th and 21st century work.

How are you? Sleeping well? To soothe the busy mind, I may do a few things: draw daily, breathe and see others, make calls to get out the vote.

If you know anyone who needs info on reaching the polls or checking their voter address, more (bipartisan) info is at Iwillvote.com.

It must be said that I think a huge amount is at stake this year and I agree with many who have said that it is the most ever.

Meanwhile, for mental health’s sake, I’m planning Draw Together sessions and hope you can join sometime. Personally, I have plans to draw a page per session for a project I’m working on.

Anything you want to work on?

Very encouraging to see around seven shelves of new natural history books the other day. They included Amy Stewart’s illustrated book The Tree Collectors.
