Not to ignore the artistic potential of holiday baking, our little drawing group opted to convene with a seasonably appropriate drawing activity: decorating gingerbread cookies. No one argued that it would be OK to put away our pens and pencils for a week! So, during two hours of light-hearted practice, with coffee, cookies, and satsumas…
