taking in my full garden








i have been working on a book called "all i did was listen" in stages for a few years now. as i completed the narrative portion of my latest draft, i went to my drawing table + made this new print. there is an increased fullness coming forward. maybe i'll share a page (in progress) here soon. sending love to all the fullness increasing in each of you as well.

Your drawings and words are very special - always uplifting, gentle - little hidden messages. Writing a book - how wonderful = I hope you will illustrate it with your beautiful drawings.
