Last week was gray, rainy and cold in New England, adding to Covid Claustrophobia. So the sunshine now is very welcome. On Saturday I spent a blissful hour in our front yard, sketching the emerging plants and chatting with neighbors (from six feet away) as they walked by. You can see from the photo below that sketches don’t have to be realistic — you can choose, alter and rearrange what appeals to you. Hence the term “artistic license.”
