I have just returned from almost four weeks of holidays interstate, reuniting with family and friends after a longtime.
I sketched a lot, but the focus was on being with the people.
I was posting some photos along the way of my sketches to Instagram and Facebook. I have a bit of a catch-up up now of scanning. Today I am resuming my weekly art blog and posting the last five days at the end of my holiday. It covers a bus ride from Toowoomba to Brisbane, a night with friends in Brisbane and then final days at the Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast. Various beaches
more thongs in the first cafe than I have seen in Melbourne in six years.

Overall, it was very comforting to return to some regular journaling subjects such as at the airport and on the plane.
I was given and collected SO MUCH to draw,
- from the beach walk shells and sea things,
- for Christmas a box of nature objects and also collected around the house and walks – bugs and insects, feathers,
- some amazingly beautiful and obscure books to draw in ,
- and other obscure objects.
I have projects to keep me entertained for a long time. And I started back at work today so reality begins again.
