Remembering Grandma

Mattias Adolfsson's class in Sketchbook Skool showed me the emotional connection between drawing and memory.  Penelope Dullaghan's gave me an appreciation of the fun of playing with patterns.

Here, I remembered Grandma: above, the rows of canned fruit and vegetables lining her cellar wall; below, the rows of women she sat among Sunday mornings and evenings, on the right side of the small Mennonite church nestled in the hills. I remember their names.

Small Cachet sketchbook I usually practice tv people in; graphite;  Ph. Martin watercolor on top, pastel pencil (with a little Uniball Signo white gel pen) on bottom.
