Some quick sketching...I’ve been trying to appreciate this sketchbook I picked up recently. I’m struggling with the horizontal lines that pop up in the texture and on the other hand sort of love it. So, more drawing and experimenting 😊

When dining out in Italy, the tables will often have warm yellow paper on the tables. The perfect surface for inviting drawing 🤗 These little guys came home with me from a restaurant in Bologna and I just finished them in #procreate (started with pastel and color pencil). .

Did you ever go along on supposedly “boring” things as a kid because you wanted to hang out with your parents? When I was a little kid in Panama I’d tag along with my dad for early morning fishing, trips to buy secondhand “everything”, and ventures in the city to watch Panamanian dancers and musicians so my dad could take photos to make paintings. Eventually I fell in love with dance and music too and happily & gratefully hang out with him whenever possible. Last fall he suggested a tiny Ukrainian festival and we squeezed into the car. It was delightful watching these teenagers visiting from the Ukraine, with their huge smiles and endless outfit changes. My kids were entranced and it reminded me of old times. *color pencil in my sketchbook*

Maybe my last Bologna post...😅 — drawing outside with a new sketchbook that I’m still on the fence over.
— A flower shop with original drawings from one of the books I bought (Nel Mio Giardino il Mondo).
— Easter treats everywhere.
— Typical floors around the city.
— last day with @tanja_stephani and @jennifermpotter and some croissants I didn’t try but wish I did!
— If only I had a greener thumb 🌱

I’d love to share a couple more posts from the @bolognachildrensbookfair as I remembered to take more pictures this time!
— Me and lovely Alison Green finally getting a chance to meet in person. I’ve had the best time working with her and @zoe_tucker_design with Alison Green Books the and Scholastic team. My first author/illustrator book “Found You!” will be out next year 🐦💕✨
— Quick capture of my piece from the #bolognachildrensbookfair illustration competition about children and performance art. — So much good stuff on the walls and in the exhibits!
— One thing different and so cool this year was getting to hang out with some authors. I met Vivian Kirkfield, Julie Abery, and Maria Marshall along with my friend @tanja_stephani and we sketched in their little memory books.
— scenes from around Bologna and a pic with lovely @kathryndurst 😘

Unpacking and sorting post #bolognachildrensbookfair and I found a moment to do a little nothing, which was wonderful ☺️ Trying to stick to my intention of posting more regularly with things that make me feel something, rather than trying to be so polished and “put together”. I’m definitely not that in real life so I want to show just genuine me 😚 Happy Monday all Xx .
