I sat under the trees
and sketched the woods
not far from where
Jerry Garcia used to live.
Filling in color at home,
I began to imagine
a picnic in the forest,
the sound of Jerry's guitar,
the writing of new songs....

Narrabase Notebook







































I left a main trail and hiked on a path where I had never been. I sat down with my
watercolors in the shade of a pine forest, looking out in contrast at green-leafed trees and a
framed view of hills and trees. I was thinking about a better future as I painted.
