Waiting and Sketching

Never leave home without a sketchbook....

Never sit in a waiting room without pen and sketchbook!
I had seen these shapes in bark on a tree.
As I doodled it occured....

...that a series on tree bark
could become shields
because the bark protects a sensitive core...

...but they wouldn't have to be shield shaped.

Then I thought of frozen puddles...

...and how I might stitch them.

Then I remembered my circles piece
and that I should do another one.
Finally my wait was over
having accomplished a lot!
