For the first theme, "Close to Home":
To kick off our blog I am adding a drawing I did last month in a local restaurant while eating lunch. It's a habit I've adapted over the past 3 years, drawing in public. In the next two weeks I will draw more "Close to Home" pictures, that might be done inside my house, in my backyard, down the street, downtown anywhere I find myself in my local environs. And I hope YOU will choose to do the same in your neighborhoods. I look forward to your creative posts here.
