Karen Winters, asked if we find ourselves sketching the same things, things that we like. I gave this some thought and I don't think I am attracted to the same subject. For me it is a matter of time. When I capture a moment in my day, that is when I open my book. It isn't the focus of my day. My finished pieces are what I return to and what I need to be spending the most time on. However, I am not letting any moments of time be wasted. Whatever is in front of me, I draw. In the mornings while at the ice rink I add to sketches, or draw Rebecca's skating bag. The other night in Tony's class I sketched a napkin. Isn't it funny, I can listen better when I am sketching.
As a child I was scolded for sketching on the envelopes that arrived in the mail. Wouldn't it have been nice if I had been provided a stack of paper? My dad worked for a paper company.

A paper company LOL!
Robin, I really enjoy your blog. Your sketches are so impressive. They don't seem to have any of the uncertain bits that mine do. Anyway, I finally bookmarked your blog so I don't always have to go to WC! to find it. :D

How amazing!Hard to believe that someone would be upset about drawings on an envelope! But here you are with much more than envelopes to draw on. I love the crumpled paper and I might try this out too! Thanks for sharing. And I'm really hoping to post on the Plein Air forum this week if only it would stop raining here!
Well maybe I drew on more than just envelopes, you think? Selective memory I am sure. Yet I think of the supplies I have sitting around for my kids. I would have given anything to have half as much.
Stacy, I should pull out my very old sketch book and post some. The more you do it the more certain you will be. You are very kind, I am glad to be working along side of you, my friend.
Always a pleasure to see your sketches. I am so inspired by you and cannot thank you enough for your encouragement. I have ordered a moleskine - then I will have no excuses for not joining you in sketching!
This is my first (but not my last) visit to your blog. What wonderful work! Your drawings have such impact...
