I spend a lot of time observing the World around me and thinking how I can communicate my thoughts on paper. This is something all artists think about and most keep a sketchbook handy to record quick scribbles, thoughts, notes and more considered drawings. I always have a sketchbook with me, but often lack time or opportunity to use it as much as I would like. Holidays are great for allowing time to reflect and I have found looking back at my holiday sketchbooks I can remember vividly the scene; even the weather, people etc in a way I never can from a photo.
I have included a few drawings made on location in Norway and The Canary Islands on this post. There is a growing Worldwide trend of 'urban sketchers'; these are people who make the ordinary extraordinary by looking afresh at their everyday environments and making something special.
