Apple on Journal

I drew this while on a personal retreat back in Fall '03. I was sitting alone in my little room and did not know what to draw. The apple and journal were in front of me so that was it. After sketching it out, I added the watercolor.

I still struggle to get watercolor to work for me. I really need to take a class one of these days. In spite of that it does bring some relaxation.

The journal is black leather with a long strap. I bought it in a store on the Realto Bridge in Venice, Italy. The apple...well, it's gone.
