An interval of calmness

When events and emotions conspire to induce sadness, discouragement, heartbreak, exhaustion, I am grateful for the solace of my love of drawing and my ability, at times, to find some calm and comfort in doing it. Here is the evening clutter on my chairside table up in the studio loft, where I've retreated to find my way back to center. Tomorrow is a fresh day.
