I love to set out my pencils, brushes and paints at this time of year on the little desk in my winter studio. My barn studio always awaits my extended creative work, but on icy New England winter mornings, I love to start my day with tiny watercolor studies in a warm little writing room just off my kitchen. A small wooden desk topped with my tiny travel set of watercolors, a few pencils, and some natural objects is all I need for a quiet start to the day. It gives me a good feeling all day that my inner artist has been honored and that I discovered something delightful and new as a result of studying a bit of Nature.
