Art lessons with Ivan

Ruby asks a lot of questions!

Today she had a conversation with Ivan:

"I've always been an artist.  I love drawing." [I say]
"Why do you love it?" Ruby asks.
I pause.  I've never talked to anyone about this before.  "When I'm drawing a picture, I feel... quiet inside."
Ruby frowns. "Quiet is boring."
"Not always."

(excerpt from 'The One and Only Ivan' by Katherine Applegate)

Is there an activity you love to do?  Or a place you love to go?  Why do you love it?
