really nice work. thanks for visiting my website. Nothing better than sitting somewhere and sketching.
Thanks, Carla.
I love sketchbooks, sometimes even more than a painting. Maybe because in very little time you have to capture the essence of your image… Very nice sketchbook.
Yes indeed and thank you.
Much better than photo albums. This way, you reinforce the memory of what you saw.
Absolutely. Thanks for visiting, Lily.
Beautiful gallery!!
Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant work– uniformly lovely. Your command of line and color is fantastic. Every image is a winner, I’m tremendously impressed!!
How very kind, Mark. Thank you so much.
Love your galery, beautiful work.
Thank you, Ros.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Your sketchbook is great. Your personal style shows in all your drawings (I apologize for my awful English. I’m trying to improve).
Thank you for your lovely comment, Adelino. Your English is excellent – we would not have known it was a second language for you if we didn’t already know that you’re Spanish (from our visit to your blog where we enjoyed your great film-star portraits.)
I think sketching may be the best way to really see, and remember. Wonderful sketchbook, full of atmosphere.
Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a lovely comment, Meg.
Thankyou so much for liking my blog! I love your work, this sketchbook stuff is just up my street. I love mark making and sketching quickly. Bev
Many thanks, Bev. We enjoyed looking round your blog and love the frogs.
Beautiful work, studiobluesea. I’m envious of how well-travelled you are, a goal I am still struggling to achieve. Without a doubt, sketchbooks are the perfect way to document one’s travels and you’ve done an exceptional job documenting yours, Bravo! (p.s. Thanks for checking out my blog: transitlines). Buz163

Following your work now I am back in UK miss my sketching classes and the Mar Menor. Susan
