"is Blue..." is my theme for this Sketchbook Project where the link in the story I tell is the color blue...a touch, a feeling, a mood, a vision. Using mixed media in the form of watercolors, graphite, chalk pastels, I hope I capture the essence of blue and the wonders of how it affects life...at least mine.
