My sketchbook and I greet you from Lake Muskoka. This is how your email finds me today, if it finds me at all.

A watercolor painting on tan paper, depicting a chipmunk on the forest floor, with acorns and dry leaves in the foreground and ferns in the background. In one corner the date 13 August 2026 and the words Muskoka, ON with a hand-painted Canadian flag beneath the words. A small “DO’H” is written beneath one leaf as the artist’s signature.
