John Muir and Me: Part One

Drawings and Prose from the Yosemite Valley

I just spent a few days drawing in Yosemite National Park. It’s fascinating…full of contrasts of scale and intimacies. I can see why naturalist, explorer and activist John Muir spent so much time here journaling and sketching. Here’s one of his and one of mine. More to come.

I framed Bridalveil Falls with lodgepole pines, rockfalls of granite and a blue sky.
