So much beauty in here! My favorite slow read is The Waves, by Virginia Woolf. It’s not a large volume, but it makes up for that in depth. Each sentence contains a lifetime of wisdom and yearning, it seems. “There are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin; when nothing is unabsorbed, and I could fancy that we might blow so vast a bubble that the sun might set and rise in it and we might take the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast off and escape from here and now.”
Thanks for the mention! Plants are becoming one of my favorite things to sketch. ☺️
I loved your coneflowers! I bought the Pentel Pocket Brush to play with on your recommendation and having great fun with it.
Oh, thank you! I love the pocket brush pen—it’s so fast!

I loved this post. A perfect summer read. One of my favorite long slow reads is AS Byatt's Possession. Another is Middlemarch.
Thanks! You know, I don't think I've ever read Possession after all these years. Or Middlemarch. I'll check them out!
I wish I was you!

That is gorgeous, Peter. Thanks for the recommendation!
