I've always tried being a sketchbook person - carrying it around with me, hoping I'll whip up some great drawings. But it's never stuck. I do carry a notebook wherever I go, but it's mostly filled with lists - to-do lists and idea lists along with the occasional stream of consciousness which I love to do on a subway ride. It's amazing how quickly your brain works while your hand tries so hard to keep up.


I came across these sketches from
Paris Breakfast. Oh how I wish my hand could move like this. Plus, I'm dying to go back to Florence where I lived for 4 months in college - so these images of Venice really tug at my heart.
I love the european notebooks with the squares. They remind me of my childhood..making drawings with my cousins in France.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your wedding pics that are attached to the Faye and Greer site. They made me cry...your family looks so beautiful on that fairytale day.
ReplyDeleteI understand the sketchbook envy. I so want to be able to whip up watercolor sketches like that.. but I'm better to stick with flowers as my medium:) I heart Venice! I've only been there for a day, but I fell in love with that city more than any other place in Italy except maybe Sorrento.
