Rummaging around, I found my little water colour from a couple years back. It is meant to show the 1909 steel truss bridge at the Devil’s Elbow. Quick, rough renderings of my emerging book scenes keep the ideas flowing - supposedly. Anyhow, it’s fun to show my paintings to the grands, a couple of whom have passed Grandpa, artistic-wise. They already run faster.

While I hope the vaccines soon find the arms of the frail, the immune compromised and our essential workers, I also hope the vaccine is not far away for the rest of us. Another part of the fun of writing comes from visiting libraries and book clubs. And the Devil’s Elbow bridge reminds me that maybe this spring, I can get back to that. Come on vaccine!
