Todays sketch and some oldies

Bell School 1826
Tuesday morning drawing before work.  I had an extra few minutes, very few, and found a simple subject and a straight on angle. I had never noticed this historic schoolhouse before and was delighted to find it only minutes from the office. A simple sketch for a simple man. . .

Kayaking with John B in 1992
I found some old sketchbooks and here is a page from almost exactly 21 years ago. My friend John and I did a day-trip in our kayaks from Warwick out around some islands and back finding all sorts of treasures. The directors chair lasted a few years as I remember it. . .

The start of a trans-Atlantic crossing - in Bermuda, June, 1998
In another sketchbook I had started a journal for our transatlantic crossing aboard our friends schooner, Sheba Moon. I only got a few pages in when I abandoned it for a smaller format.If I remember correctly this sketchbook, which I bought in Bermuda was a bit large and a bit flimsy to cary around. I settled for a small hardbound book. It is fun looking back and seeing how much the drawing style has changed and how much it has stayed the same. . . .
