Inspired by Carol's blog Paris Breakfast, which I read almost daily, I made myself some tea and ate a few pieces of chocolate the other night.
Then, reading more from Carol's blog I decided it was time for me to do some sketching, and after some trying the Dutch antique china mug had it's image in my sketchbook.
I am no artist, but my sketchbook, and a small old chocolate box with pencils, colours, an eraser and a pencil sharpenes, follows me on my travels. The sketches I make are not for sale or exhibitions. They are for me, the delight I find in looking at the colours, trying them out, trying to put down on paper glimpses of what I see and feel. So though no real art, they are still art for me, and at school we were always told - practice makes the master!
