What a lovely spontaneous sketch, Sylvia. I love it.

Oh Wow, Sylvia, I admire you so much! This is not and was never intended to be,( I'm sure you wont take umbrage (lovely tickly word!) ) a 'masterpiece'. ) It is however, spontaneous, and full of life and feeling. Well done! Perhaps it is time more of us gained the courage to post our lively sketchings rather than finished artwork?

Umbrage not taken , though I did have to check your spelling Ruth. As you say it was only ever intended as a sketch book piece. I love people watching and just scribble them down.

Full of energy - great sketch

As Michael says full of energy. Your lines convey the vigorous movements of her arm as she plays, I can almost hear the music.

Great sense of movement in the violin bow and I like the attitude of the girl's body as it is spot on for a violin player (having been one myself). Great immediate sketch.

What a great way of storing a great memory Sylvia, then like you say you can get it out every now and then and pour over it , it certainly sounds like like you had an idyllic lunch on the Seine boat trip!

Looking through some sketch books I re discovered some happy memories. For my dear friends big 70 , six of us went to Paris... , we had lunch on one of the boats that go up and down the Seine This lovely lady played her violin for us , and I did a very quick sketch of her. It was an excellent lunch, and if I remember rightly the price included a bottle of wine each.....( falling over time) We had a wonderful few days , this is how I like to use my sketch books, not for spot on wonderful drawings , but for remembering happy times.
