We are on a journey through another one of my small artist sketchbooks. As with all my books of this type, I take a sketchbook and fill it with whatever I feel like doing at the time. No planning, just enjoyment.
This book was done between August 2020 and February 2022, more or less (I date each page as I do it).
I don’t go through the book page by page in order, though in general the earlier images are at the front and the later ones following – but sometimes I skip pages and come back later, or do some other thing. No reason, that is just how I do it.
Let’s take a look.
Here’s today’s page spread.


Here are individual views of the pages.
Such a contrast in scenes with type of landscape and level of activity
Yes. It comes of skipping around in the book, these inadvertent pairings always seem to make their own story even if I never meant anything by how they are arranged or in what order the pages come. I guess another example of randomness in the world that makes things more interesting than if I planned them. I remember the one on the right I was going to do more to it, but then I liked the look of the page and left it alone.
Now I’m thinking of the beach. (K)
That is funny, today’s picture made me think the same thing. That and what a beautiful sunny day it is.
Yes, today was lovely.
Awesome pages, your art is always so amazing!
Thank you. These sketchbooks are so freeing.
I always enjoy your inky street scenes. The page on the right makes me think of a figure exploring the bottom of the sea, whether a merperson or a deep sea diver, I am undecided.
I love so much swimming in this kind of water. I have always thought being a mermaid would be an aquatic dream life.
I love looking at your works. I meant to comment on the other posts that now I have to copy you again and take Marcie’s class warm-up class! I’m struggling with the mini collages now but I’ll get through that (making marks on the collages).
Thank you. I think you’d like the warm-up class. Structure gives freedom. I would like to take the class again myself.
