I saw Leonard Cohen and his band in rehearsal yesterday. A short one (3 songs), yet wonderful.
I had brought Rafael a jar of my raspberry jam, which he gave to Leonard. Leonard couldn't resist trying it. He looked over at me and said, "Anne, this jam is sublime."

"Incoming" is the theme for ArtHouse's Monthly Sketchbook Project for June. arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookmonthliesjune
It took me a couple of weeks to decide what to do for this book (I like to keep a consistent style to these Monthly sketchbooks).
My concept is this: Day in My Life, items are cropped with only a bit showing on page. Linear ink sketches.
Page 1 is my current favorite mug that I have my wake-up tea (Twinings Earl Gray) in. My "Loretta Lynn's Kitchen" souvenir mug purchased in Hurricane Mills, TN on my Road Trip last October. Sketched a while after 2nd cup finished... I wake up WAY earlier than 8am!

Originally, I was going to close the book with another Barbie shoe sketch (it starts with a Barbie flip flop). I never did find the type I was looking for (the classic Barbie mule).
During the search I came across my Great Aunt Carol's charm bracelet that I inherited. Since there were lots of little things on it, I started examining the charms closely as potential models. I noticed that this heart was actually a locket. I opened it up, and inside is the tiniest photo of Great Uncle Russell. That slayed me. How romantic.
They both passed away in the 90s, but I remember them with great fondness. They were both very important in my artistic development.

I got this last summer while on family vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Found a few and thought they'd be nice as dangles on a necklace. Haven't made the necklace yet ...

mini: ring
My left index finger has gotten swollen and this ring no longer fits. I got it soon after moving to soCal in 82 at The Folk Tree in Pasadena. It's been a lot of places with me.

right now I'm using Illustrator to trace over the photo. It's fun and is getting my hand looser.
