Sketchbooks

Here are some sketches from my travels, at home and abroad. Wherever I am I love to have my sketchbooks to hand, whether in Andalusia on a painting trip, or in our local coffee shop with family. These are not produced for sale or any commercial purposes but purely for pleasure. Some are done on my own, others with groups of other sketchers. They all feed the soul, and drawing en plein air always reminds me why I draw and paint at all.
