Jo, thanks! Nice job on the covers of the CDs. Music is always so inspirational and it is great to have good songwriters.

I wish I'd been able to see the list the day it was posted but I had no internet most of the day ... I was out for the day in the sun on a lovely little island ... ever since then everytime I go outside the weather's been awful! So I've been finding things about the house to sketch. And I'm away from home at the moment so there isn't much to find!

1) Living thing: my housemate. I've rescued him out of the bath 3 times so far. He turned round and walked off midway through the sketch, which is why his legs look odd.
2) Tastes wonderful: shortbread biscuits
3) Leaf: creeping buttercup leaf
4) Sounds wonderful: memory stick with my holiday music on
All in regular ball-point pen.

Ai, nice ink sketches. I'm so used to seeing color from you. Nice ink lines!

joe1lt, nice job on lines!
Ai, the basked has more lines than I could do, wow good job. Beautiful flower and more than yummy cheesecake. Interesting bug.

On the porch in the regular Sketchbook with a Micron 08 and colored pencil. I did mark the lines with a pencil first. Don't usually do that. Ha.

Jo, thanks! You always love the sketches with the flag.

Ai, thank you. That's a lovely soft capture of the area around your cabin. It is always fun to see the photos and sketches that you post from up there.
 
Ai, beautiful from your mountain. Love the misty top. Applause.

Joan, thanks.

I sketched on the porch yesterday and today. I finished the Canson regular paper sketchbook, 9 x 12 inches. Another big book, been working in it since 2014. About half of it this year. Guess I had it at the bottom of the pile when working in the coffee table book. Ha.
