Gulping knowledge

There is a line in Edith Wharton's short story "The Portrait" which
aptly describes me these days - "He gulped his knowldege standing.."
That's what I'm doing, with all the stuff I need to do at work.

I just love sketching with oil pastels, as in this one below. I love the texture and
the way you could thicken the color and then scratch on them.
The drawing always comes out better than what I expected it to be.

I am beginning to like the color red in trees - see Charles Vess's illustration.
