Mexican “Fast and Loose” Sketching Retreat
I’m in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico accomplishing a multi-layered trip.

Great Quote For New Visual Practitioners

Sunflower Music
I find this really amazing and fascinating. Did you know that sunflowers make music? I didn’t officially know that but it makes my heart smile to learn this … I think our hearts know this, don’t they. Everything makes its own music (sound, frequency, vibration).
