August favorites
August was a month of preparation and enjoyment. The trip of Italy required quite a bit of planning which paid off once we were on the road.
picnicking-
We didn't enjoy quite as many picnics as we would have liked in Italy, but we did have a few really nice ones including one at the seaside. We had the beach mostly to ourselves and were able to watch the sun setting over the water as we relaxed after eating.

Sketching on the road: As an artist most of the highlights of the month are tied to art projects, inspirational excursions or finished works- my sketchbook is a fun memory of the trip even though it isn't particularly refined.
And of course there were all of the delicious treats we brought back with us- This was especially fun because I bought different snack items in different regions and packed them immediately. Upon arriving back in Graz it was fun to unpack them and try them side by side for a comparison.
In natural history illustration course has began again in August and is, as always a delight-
