Some apples that Alex brought from a tree at his mother's house in NC and a guava(?) from the grocery store.  Once I sketched these in I had to go sit down - it had been so new to me and took so much concentration that I was shaky!

I won't get mad and will most likely learn something! All is well and all will most certainly be well! XOXOXO. Caroline

They have to be freed from the plastic bag and rubber band , flattened and put with the recycling. Maybe I should just stop taking the paper, but It is good to keep up with the local happenings. All of you w...

What do you do after painting Worth Street looking toward 8th  Street? Why you paint Worth Street looking toward 6th, of course. I think that I might be beginning to get the hang of this just a little! All is well,   XOXOXO, Caroline
