Richard in Healdsburg

In early 2014, my soon to be husband, Richard, and I were playing tourist in Healdsburg, California, staying with Richard’s ex, Tim, and Tim’s husband, Jerry. Tim said we’d gotten there at the perfect time, as recent rain had turned the brown, parched landscape verdant green. I wonder how they’re doing now.

I suffered with a super shitty ballpoint pen trying to execute this drawing. I had to press down really hard with the wretched stylus to get any line at all, and sometimes not even then. I find the result interesting; it forced abstraction and simplicity on me. I rather like it.
