sketch 31

Although both your sketch and the painted version are brilliant - for me the sketches win hands down. I think it is the vitality of your pencil lines and the immediacy of the the image that captivates. I do love your more 'finished' painted versions, but a book of your sketches would definitely find a place on my bookshelf.

Wonderful sketch as always...you have captured the personality

You are right Thea-that is the beauty of the "there and then sketch", nothing can replace such vitality! My book of sketches will soon be out! Thanks Patsy!
