Oh my goodness! Those are gorgous! What great work you’ve done for a sketch book. Amazing. It is so very sad what’s happening in the gulf and frustrating that we seem so powerless to do anything to fix it.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Janeen – yes – the powerless feeling made me draw these – they are my form of “prayer” – a ritual to help heal.

These are such a beautiful tribute. I love manatees and you captured them so well! I have them all in my heart that they will find a way to survive this! I hate that there is nothing we can do!

Thanks you, Kristen. I fear we are going to lose so much more life than we can imagine.

Beautiful work, Margie. It is so unbelievably sad. I have been wanting to create something to honor those creatures impacted but have yet to be able to put something together. I think your sketches are wonderful.

Thank you, Kristen. These drawings are a way to keep me focused, and maintain a resonance of beauty in such a tragic time. I appreciate you writing!
