I LOVE MOUNTAINS!!! So much so I sometimes go into them and don't come out for awhile! The last few weeks have been full of action, but one highlight was being able to attend the Leadership Training Institute with Virginia Recreation and Parks Society. I met wonderful people, learned a lot about myself and effective organizations, and was extremely bad at various ice-breaker party games. I also got to visit Wintergreen for the first time, and WOW. The views! So grateful for the experience and opportunity. (And if you're following me now from the conference--hi and welcome! I'm really glad to have met you.) I also did a smidgin of art--about half an hour of plein-air sketching with watercolor pencils (limited palette) in weather just above freezing, and a quick comic story about an Encounter I had the first evening I was there. #art #outdoorartist #vrsplti #virginiarecreationandparksociety #leadershiptraininginstitute #mountains #wintergreen #watercolorpencil #pleinair #sketch #comic #bearencounter #probablyabearanyway #notabird https://www.instagram.com/p/CdN5dXULC7T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
