I am so very honored by comments many of you have sent since I mentioned in my last blog that we may be moving into retirement. We are somehow getting older, which sort of leads to ‘The Shipping Department.’ Sorry about delivery problems while we were on our big trip. Dale, (Vice President of Shipping) shipped daily from wherever. (Did you notice the post office on the package?) He received supplies at each place we knew we’d be for two days or more. There were mistakes. If you are still missing something, let us know. If you received more than you paid for, happily keep it. [email protected] From the trip here are three sketches and a journal page, all from Victoria, BC. Journal pages have writing, usually telling more about the location of the sketch. I love food and often guess at contents so I can copy the dish at home. The fountain in ink is typical. The color sketch of the same fountain is pretty poor. However, both trigger the memory, and I can make a good sketch or even a painting from them. Once you take the time to sketch, you become immersed and you lock the memory in the computer of your mind. Your camera pictures don’t make this connection. There are more trip sketches coming: I got some good sketches and some great lessons.
At last we are showing on PBS, KAET in Phoenix and Prescott, Arizona! Could you believe it has taken over five years to get Pocket Sketching PBS shows into my hometown and state, though we show in 730 stations nationwide?! Thanks for asking them: It finally worked. In Phoenix we are showing on PBS Life which is: Cox channel 80, Century Link channel 9, Northern Arizona channel 142, Maricopa channel 211. The near times are Monday, Aug. 19, 12:00 PM, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 3:00 PM, Monday, Aug 26, 12:00 PM, Tuesday Aug. 27, 3:00 PM. Go to their schedule to find more times: obviously this is an experiment. If you like it and want to see more, please contact Lisa Sepulveda, 855-818-6613 or [email protected], and ask for more showings. We have a foot in the door! If you are in Tucson, AZPM Plus will show Pocket Sketching® at 9:30 AM each Monday on Channel 82 (Cox) and Channel 396 (Comcast).

But There Was MoreWhile we were sketching at the Empress Hotel Bar, a family was sitting next to us. They were celebrating their twelve-year-old daughter's birthday (she picked the venue). Julie began sketching the girl. The family started asking questions. Julie did a great sketch, which she gave to them. They were delighted! Then Julie, Eva and Joy did a marvelous sales pitch for Pocket Sketching.® I was the 'elder-sketcher-sitting-at-the-side-saying-nothing.' Totally amazing!!!! I couldn't have pitched Pocket Sketching batter!!! It felt strange...like it's time to bow out and find a new, younger person to take over Pocket Sketching. I am left complimented and contemplating. Below are two of my sketches from Victoria.
