The quilting threads got me to wondering what hobbies you all enjoy besides cycling? As an artist, I have too many. I love nature, photography, hiking, calligraphy, art, and I play guitar and didgeridoo (Australian aborigine instrument). I love collecting insects and rocks/sticks from all over. Every time one of my friends go on vacation I ask them to bring me a rock and my collection now has stones from Africa, Brazil, Canada, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and BC. Recently one of my friends brought me two lovely rocks from Marthas Vineyard. Here are some samples of my art - I love to draw pets/animals and wildlife but shy away from people portraits. (The chow is pastel, the horse is colored pencil and the raccoon is white pencil on black paper.)
