This quick sketch depicts a field of sunflowers located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. I like to have a sketchbook nearby while I write - the doodling allows my mind to wander while I work on character development. Anna, one of the main characters in a story I am writing, is a journalist sent to Russia to cover the "feel good" stories of the Sochi Olympics. Instead, Anna gets caught up in the turmoil taking place in Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine.
