sketching and doodling

I've been to Banff and come home inspired once again! My husband had what turned out to be day surgery Thursday in Banff Mineral Springs Hospital. So I brought along my sketch book and puttered a bit between pampering him. His room looked out onto a little stand of trees with a mountain in the distance. I did some sketching of the trees and snow shadow shapes, etc. It was beautiful and restful there. Today I continued with a value study based [roughly] on one of my thumbnails.
