Hot, hot, hot! — Dawn DeVries Sokol Hate to start off negative, but this is my least favorite season in Phoenix. It was 118 yesterday and our A/C blew a fuse. Luckily, we have two A/C units, so we hunkered down in one side of the house,...

Another imaginary town and some other practice in the sketchbook/art journal. When the real world gets too much, jump in your journal and create ANYTHING. #artjournal #sketchbook

Thinking of those in Minnesota today. And those who are heading out to No Kings protests. STAY SAFE.

More experiments in the journal... #artjournal #sketchbook
