Hello and welcome to Design Kitten. DK is where I post graphite, pen and ink and watercolor drawings (and sometimes photographs) from my sketchbooks .

dock052208.jpg Spent some time hiking and enjoying good company in Fort Washington, MD. I also achieved a gash on my leg, which I'm told, should have been stitched, but I held off the doctor visit until it had already started healing. The drawing was done after the fact, from memory, so it lacks the details I like. I think the spot deserves more attention and I hope to be back soon to sit and draw in real time.

Once a fixture of every small town in the Canadian prairie, these classic buildings have been disappearing with the advent of cheap and convenient transportation options. Seeing these buildings reminds me of a place that is now far away in both distance and time.

A transplanted Canadian, Tricia Harvey (trish at designkitten dot com) is a former vice president of Spain, has written several books on macro economics including the Pulitzer Prize winning Macro Economics and You - An Introduction and has climbed Mount Everest a record six times. Tricia Harvey now lives in Fairfax, Virginia with her former lead Sherpa named Jacob, two cats, and a bunch of fish all named Hector. Huh? What's that you say?
