My mom is a little hard of hearing, a part-time exerciser, voracious reader and Netflix binger, but at 92 she’s doing pretty good!!! #sketch #sketching #drawing #mom #92yearsold #familytime #arizona #instaart #instadraw #illustration jlawsonart.com
Keeping an eye on Jackie as she makes her way across the hot patio to the pool. At 92 my mom still manages a slow lap or two around her tiny backyard pool. #sketch #drawing #penandink #coloredpencils #92yearsold #familytime #arizona #instaart #instadraw #illustration jlawsonart.com
A quick sketch of the last of the peonies in the garden using a cheap "not for water media" sketchbook. #sketch #penandink #watercolor #instadraw #instaart #gardens #flowers #illustration #maine

Wim and Erwin got their books.
We met pilgrims Erwin and his dad Wim from the Netherlands on our journey on the Camino de Santiago. Always fun to run into them along "The Way" catching up on our adventures as we all made our way across Spain. Erwin ordered the book as a gift for his dad and we sent along an extra copy for him. Thank you pilgrims and Buen Camino!

Sketching my 92 year old mom as she was telling me stories I'm not sure I am believing...
She to came Maine from Arizona to my book launch party where she held court. Time to go home because she is cold and admittedly am still wearing a parka and could see my breath on my dog walk tonight...okay mom you are right about that...but just that...#sketching #coloredpencils #ink #instadraw #instaart #life #mymom #92yearsold #family #stories
Landed in Firenze and after meeting with friends we took a stroll through the city enjoying a cappuccino. Later a delicious Italian dinner at a small trattoria before we traveled to San Gimignano to start our 200 mile walk to Rome.

It’s Here! “Walking in Watercolor—An Artist’s Pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago”. A book created from my sketches, journal notes and memories of my walk across Spain with my friend Patti. It’s a tale of "2 friends, 32 days, 500 miles, 1 amazing journey”. Check it out on jlawsonart.com or Amazon.
Pre-travel day at home. With my dog next to me I settled into a little meditative sketching. All these tools are now in a ziplock bag and stuffed into my backpack...See you on the road to Rome. #sketching #travel #travelingram #viafrancigena #walking #backpacking #instaart #instadraw #instatravel #ilovemydog

This "walker/sketcher/pilgrim" is back on the road again. This time 200 miles on the ancient road and old pilgrim route in Italy the Via Francigena. With my all too heavy pack on my back we are walking and I'll be sketching from San Gimignano to Rome. #walking #sketching #viafrancigena #italy #travel #drawing #travelingram #instaart #instadraw #instatravel

The calendar says spring, but snow banks are only slowly dissipating. The birds are singing and easily spotted in the bare thickets.
