Line and wash self-portrait of Nicolas Steenhout. He has a black mop style paintbrush in his mouth and is holding a fountain pen in his left hand, pointing up.

Drawn to Notice

Labor Day

I celebrated Labor Day by drawing a little wishful thinking: being on a tropical island with nothing to do except laze in a hammock.

This sketch amused my dad tremendously.

Ink and watercolor beach scene with a hammock tied between two palm trees, a person wearing a straw hat resting in it, leg hanging out of the hammock, blue water, a sailboat, and a mountainous island in the distance.
