I christened today a sketchnook which has been in my car for years now... just waiting for me to begin filling the pages. Laura's garden art and art mixed among her palntings and plantings mixed among her art is a spectacular view. Hope all enjoy.
Hi Doris, Your sketches have a whimsical, playful quality to them which I find refreshing, a few of them VanGoghish/Cezanne in composition. How cool to be in a creative environment creating art! Hope that sketchbook fills up fast!
I like these sketches. At first I didn't recognize them as yours. But they're cool, loose, playful. It seems like you just let go and it's really nice.

Using my practice of quick poses in life drawing, I opportune to experiment with colors and differing line textures to recreate quickly the effects of light on the spiritual essence of the human form. My intention is to pull the viewer into following line, breathing with it's form, knowing it's actual beauty.
