Spring Break
While on spring break, my boys and I took an outing to one of my favorite spots to view nature and get inspiration for drawing, River Farm Park, which is also the headquarters to the American Horticultural Society.

These were taken by my teenage son Jackson who has quite an eye and talent for photography. The potential for art is everywhere and everyday. He continues to inspire me.
