I had to add three temporary eyedrops to the two I normally take because of a recent glaucoma-related procedure. It’s a long story, goes back to 1998. When I saw all of the little eyedrop containers huddled together this afternoon in a little basket, I noticed seeing them while I looked at them.
Some details from the Sketch Club app:

30,000 mile service. Time to dig in. Looks like I deviated a little from Jorma’s actual countenance based on this screenshot of him and Jack.
Jorma & Jack
I was happy with the outcome. I’ll let these images speak for themselves.
Our last night above the Arctic Circle we met some folks from Mexico who were also hoping to see the Northern Lights. We were lucky! Ipad artwork in Sketch Club.

A brief look at a YouTube upload of her touching performance. My iPad sketch was done in SketchClub on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil.
Our guide was wonderful. She taught us both how to dog sled, how to mush, how to ride along, and how to love dogs even more! At the end of our excursion, she introduced us to the entire dog team…one by one and by name! Here’s to you, Maestra! Extreme Huskies near Ivalo, Finland.

It’s cold; and it stays dark later and gets dark earlier. I took the reference photo for this freehand iPad painting at 9:26 this morning, January 18, 2023; sunset was 1:53 PM.
A few weeks ago Annyth and I got to see Jorma Kaukonen and John Harlbut at the River Of Time Boutique in Uptown Athens. That was on December 16, 2023. Now that we’re back in Athens we get to see first hand cool things like this. I took a photo between songs which I used as a photo reference for this freehand iPad digital painting. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and the live music warmed our souls. Annyth bought a really cool apron there too.
This isn’t Jorma’s first appearance on this illustroblog. Check out these two other posts, one of which tells the story of my weekend at the Fur Peace Ranch back in the early 2000s when I learned at camp directly from Jorma himself that, when it comes to finger picking, the secret is in the thumb: yep, click here. See a couple of must-see links below the following image:

Yea, the Dairy Barn! Read all about it!
I first laid eyes on this landmark in 1979, and it never ceases to amaze and inspire me. I’m glad we’re back to visit the grounds and take part in the art and music events. There are also gorgeous, very nearby hiking trails guaranteed to please any time of the year. Ora Anderson Trail. The Ridges.
