I had other plans for this evening, but for no particular reason I started leafing through a book on American Folk Portraits. My mind being occupied elsewhere (I was also listening to a fascinating lecture by Sam Harris on fora.tv), my hands got busy copying a portrait of Miss Rebecca Freese of Cairo Forge, New York. The original is by an unknown artist circa 1835.

Later on I drew the Mystic Granny as we chatted about the day's events.
