I need to get better about writing notes with descriptions in my field sketching.  By putting your thoughts in words along with your field sketch or thumbnail, you develop a stronger connection to the image.  Van Gogh and Gauguin would write eloquently about colors and describe in words the paintings they labored on to each other and friends within correspondence of letters.  Today our writing skills seemed diminished with text and email, and the personality and warmth of letter writing with vivid descriptions aren't as important, or so it seems.   I rushed with my description of a few colors and notes with this thumbnail, but I got something down.
