Sketching is a great way to remember events. This was done right after my whole family had been Covid vaccinated. My parents, brothers and their families (except one of my sister-in-laws) all got together for a Memorial Day trip to the mountains. We rented this big airbnb place and spent a long weekend together, as a family, for the first time since the pandemic started.
My nephew, the youngest of us all, was totally throwing frisbees all over this lawn all weekend. My eldest daughter had her drivers permit and wound up driving us most of the way out to Wolcott, a little town near Eagle. I did some scouting that weekend of the Colorado River (the 'Radie') which I wound up solo backpacking a couple weeks later.
I had just received a couple of fountain pens before the weekend (an early Narwhal and a PenBBS) that my Dad tuned for me that weekend - he wound up buying a Narwhal and becoming friends with the CEO of the company!
Doing this sketch was one of the first times my extended family got to see me working on my craft.
