Lovely sketch Linda, don’t  be sorry about the photo I will do it eventually, I like difficult. It’s not that it’s difficult it more that it’s difficult to get it looking right.

Anjana, your Mr Bass is a wonderful drawing of a brave man, Dixie I love your old watering can with flowers, and yes blue would look good, but lovely as is, and Linda another good sketch from a difficult angle more or less coming straight towards you. This is like old times, everyone posting fast and furious, great!

Today is of a cormorant fisherman out on his bamboo boat, in the early morning.

That’s something different Dixie. I love seeing the cormorant fishing, fascinating and an unusual painting. We escaped the house for an hours drive today (shh don’t tell) called at our daughter and granddaughter, suitable distance, then picked up some plants from an old farmhouse which had derelict tractors in the garden. This is the one I could see from the car, quick pen sketch, about 10-15 minutes.

Love that tractor Tessa, really nice sketch. Yes I thought the fisherman was something different to do, I have a couple of photos so might do a full painting at some time in the future, oh that’s  another on the never ending list.

Thanks Dixie although I think the tractor looks a bit wobbly but it did appear to be held together by rust!

Amazing sketches of Biscuits, tractor and the wall and pretty flowers in the planter and the frontline workers .. 
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

A very ambitious attempt at the Taj - showing much more of the complexity of the building than we normally see; love the way you're all tackling this - big subjects, powerful shapes, none of us is trying to show complexly completed works, but the essence is there in these sketches.  Lockdown clearly has some fringe benefits.

Lovely flowers and watering can, and the cormorant fishing is definitely an unusual and interesting topic, Dixie; and very nice lively sketch, Linda.   Beautiful Taj Mahal sketch Nandhini.   Very very quick sketch out the window yesterday - my eyes were caught by the lovely colours.

Today's quick and late sketch - my very old soft toys sitting on top of the rainbow coloured books waving at small children on a "bear hunt"!
