My mother, already one of the most creative people in the world, took up sketching not too long ago and then added watercolors to the mix soon thereafter. This weekend, Shannon and I went down to DC to get some painting done in the house, and our parents joined us; in between helping tape off rooms, my mom took breaks by retreating to various spots with her sketchbook. Happily, one of her first drawings was of the house, and I can’t wait to frame and display it just inside the entryway!
