A dandelion drawn in a retro steno pad I found at Staples.

I sketched the flower while my kids played soccer with their friends in the park yesterday.

As soon as I pulled out my colored pencils, a group of girls surrounded me. Some kids said they couldn't draw, but I think having simple things on hand like a weed, a notepad, and pencils took the intimidation of drawing away. Soon all of us were sketching something and admiring each other's work.
