O'KEEFE COUNTRY!

Here is the ink drawing I did in the parking lot of our cabins at 6 AM! I couldn't manage to pull out the paint but I love how ink drawings look in this special book. I take it with me when I travel to special places. It is a wonderful reminder of some awesome trips.

One of the nice things about living in Albuquerque is that we get to go to Ghost Ranch every once in a while. Last year in April we hiked up to Chimney Rock, quite a feat for a 69 year old. I wish I had known you were in the area. I love your work.; June 20, 2013 at 12:30 PM

Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Georgia, Thank you for your kind comment. I don't know exactly what this paper is but resembles a parchment look. It doesn't take watercolor but I love working with ink on this paper. It is a bound book that I take on my travels. A nice way to store memories.; July 29, 2013 at 9:51 AM
