I'm having one of those "Anywhere-but-here" days. You know the ones. When things suddenly pile up and it feels like it might be easier to escape rather than face the immense to-do lists.
A lot of times when this happens I imagine myself escaping to somewhere I've never been. Shall we follow Gauguin to Tahiti?
But this time I decided to imagine myself in a place I've been before; someplace where I was really happy. I scanned through my travel pictures, and hit upon Tuscany. Our time in Italy was filled with autumnal sunshine, wine, olive oil, and lots and lots of happiness. (That's where we got engaged, after all!)
So here we are, an antidote to the to-do lists: a sketch of the many towers in San Gimignano, Tuscany.
What do you do, when you feel the to-do lists towering over your head? I'd like to know!

I wish I was in Tuscany too!
ReplyDeleteWhen the to-do lists get to long for me, I completely shut down. It's the worst. Your method is much better!
Lovely ink work! I followed your comment link from Sal Scheibe's blog. Very nice writing style, too! I think I'd most like to go to the countryside of Scotland and southern Germany. For some reason, the Bavaria region always strikes me as a bit strange, quirky, and likely quite beautiful! I should follow your example and try some drawings of those places. :)
