Purple '09

In middle school, I carried a little purple sketchbook with me on family trips. My dad is a huge nature lover and amateur photographer, so we always tried to catch the sunrise at the best time and spot all the alligators at Brazos State Park. These life sketches are from Texas bluebonnet fields, Washington on the Brazos State Park, Stewart Beach, a dragonboat festival, the Alamo, and Wildlife Safari in San Antonio. Besides the numerous mosquito bites I always took home, I also returned with a humbling appreciation of nature as well as life sketching experience for which I will always be grateful to my dad.
