this is it! the very end of the end of my spoleto travel journal. i loved documenting my trip this way. Nothing but fun once I got a little momentum behind me. this sketching business is pure bliss. lucky for me i have sort of a blind devotion to almost everything i create. which. speaks more to my elephantine ego than the actual quality of my work, but whaddoo i care? keeping a sketchbook is such a nice way to really sink into the day. and of course if you’re lucky enough to have a funny sketch partner like my sister, all the better!
i’m super excited to keep practicing my sketching at the MAMSOS. i hear they hired some new instructors that aren’t drunks. we’ll just see about that, and well, of course i’ll keep you posted. thanks for staying tuned to my creative adventures.
i wanted to share a few of your creative adventures too so here goes:
DIANE with her nature sketches from montana & maine. lovely.
TINA went fleamarketing in sweden!
ERIKA has a handsome guest blogger…
JACQUELINE is living the good life in france!
MICHELLE is getting busy with wood blocks!
dear ERIN the friendly cambria librarian got some super cool stamps…
CHRISSY’s french garden is bursting into bloom
LISA is inspiring me with her beautiful paintings of ordinary objects!
lots of nice peeps doing cool things. isn’t blogging fun?
Saw some of Sol LeWitt’s art work on the Antique Road Show last night…some of his early work (radically different than his later geometric shapes.) Much more representational and beautiful.
Love the travel book with the spontaneous art work…that’s what makes it lively, no preconceived ideas, just make.
Have you any idea where you’re off to next?
oh my….you do inspire! lovely!
enjoyed every single page and then some. A toast to a trip lovingly documented and will sit here till the next adventure begins…even if that is simply walking out your front door or sitting on your patio with the Moss boys. xxooxx
like your “crappy ass” painting of the dress shop best of all. Love the comments to about size. Thank you so much for sharing your sketch/travel journal, I loved all the pages! Makes me want to get out the watercolors and go sketch about town again.
sharon,

MAMSOS ? Love the spirit that flies from your pages.
Your journal is beautiful and very enjoyable. Also liked the links. Thanks so much for sharing!

You continually amaze me! I just love these pages so much I could eat them with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti. Seriously though, they are awesome. These pages just make me happy.
Sketching – and watercolours – really is a great fit with you. All the pages just oozes travel happiness!
loved your entire journal! and getting to see other journal-friends’ work is another treat.
my take-away is to not get into drawing minute details…stay simple….
thanks so much for opening your sketchbook to us!
