    . . . love all you do, Jane, but esp. these birds. I restored a late 1800s bungalow in a small village a few years ago- it is all vintage, nature and birds - not a conscious thing - just filled it with what I loved and had only myself to please at the time (have a wonderful husband now and we live in his house in the country). Anyway, this gives me the idea to start sketching/painting/whatevering all my birds! How I wish I could take a workshop with you. Could I possibly interest you in a Nebraska Sandhills (Google it - incredible place) working vacation? We have an fantastically- fun bunch of artists in our Sand Painters Art Guild (FB us!). I could guarantee you an amazing outdoorsy time and I know I could fill up a class AND you could stay in my sweet little bungalow :) Or my wonderful tipi :) Or swing in the hammocks or air chairs by the creek. Oh, I could go on and on :)

    I have a rather large collection of Pigs of assorted types..... although no real ones. They would be fun to draw & paint!

    I love it when you sketch over a page of writing, such as with the bird sketched over the chicken recipe. Oh so much inspiration Jane!
