In reply to Mary W. Mary, thanks! Yes, I love to play with colors too but sometimes when I am sketching, I pruposefully make the grass green and the sky blue so that I can understand the construction of the image. Have fun creating your imaginary scenes!

Your spread with the landscapes on the right and ceramic motifs on the left has the most beautiful landscape at the bottom. I just love to see things that are not the correct color – I guess it lets my imagination play more. I can look at it and immediately 3 or 4 scenes come to mind to explain the colors and my brain actively works at viewing this sketch. It is just beautiful.

Inspiring as usual for both, what your write and what you show as from your paintings! Love the way your are using your journal for notes (both pictures and text). I just learned to use mine more and more to quickly sketch or write down ideas. Like the idea to do a library session with sketchbook
