More Musk

Another Musk Ox sketch from the Pilgrim Monument Museum. It is the only thing that I devoted multiple pages to. Super cute! The museum also had a couple of taxidermied polar bears, a walrus head, a white wolf, random pelagic birds and a creepy snowy owl. I don't remember them serving musk ox steaks at the first thanksgiving . Did I sleep through that part of my American History class? 

Almost nothing to show for it...

I think I actually took a bona fide vacation. The fam and I headed to the Armpit of the Cape (geographically speaking) for a big slice of nothing. While I carried my sketchbook everywhere - from the back porch to road trips -  the sketches are largely quick outlines that I let my kids color-in and embellish. Or they are odd juxtapositions, like the sample above. I don't really know what a taxidermied musk ox was doing in the museum at the base of the Pilgrim Monument in P-town. But after climbing to the top on 116 steps & 60 ramps, then back down again in 10 minutes, I didn't really care. I just wanted to sit down and rest. 
I suppose that is what a vacation is for.
