| I know it seems like I am jumping around from one thing to the other...it appears that way because it is! I always seem to have so many projects going at once, and that is the case right now. I have been working on getting the digital copy of the China sketchbook done. I spent most of the afternoon scanning the pages. I have started the book in Shutterfly, but I still have many pages to go. I plan to do a few more finished pieces to be included as well. I have heard from at least one traveler who is interested in purchasing the book. If you think you might like one, you can get in touch with me. The books are $100, and they will be ready around the first of October. They will contain most of the original watercolors that are in the sketchbook, as well as some of my photographs. And I try to have some witty and informative commentary along the way! sheltongail@hotmail.com |

| Making a little progress on this drawing. The satin fabric is very challenging. I am still tweaking it a little. I started on the background, just layering in some soft color, just to take a break from the tedious part! I will start on her sleeve, and the rest will be easy! sheltongail@hotmail.com |

| Most of you know that I post a lot of sunsets...lots. But, I want you to know, I was up before SUNRISE several times during this trip! So, this is sunrise over the Yangtze River on our 2nd day on the boat. It was very quiet...and life was just getting started for the day. We passed under this great bridge. And then that barge passed by a few minutes later. It was awesome to be on such a large river, and see all the other boats and barges hard at work. It reminded me a lot of the Mississippi, and what a hard working river that is also. sheltongail@hotmail.com |
