My family vacation was cut short, and between the chaos of getting ready, and the unexpected return, my sketching took a hit.

I do not even have the dates and weather yet for Friday through Sunday! Needless to say, I did not sketch on location anywhere. The struggle is real!

I am hoping I’ll have loads of time and fill in all sorts of sketches and memories from photos. Loads of time seems quite unlikely. So maybe I just do color abstracts that capture the sights and experiences? I could also just leave these pages as is, with the barest of dates and stickers. Turn the page and start clean. I’ll see how this week goes, but I know from experience I can’t let blank pages go too long or I stall out completely. I’ll give myself Monday to see how the week looks, and whether I think I can steal time to fill in sketches, or do those color abstracts.
