Lovely story about how you came to do this one Sylvia, a great memory and this artwork will of course always remind you of that great trip

I could not work out what it was as a an intriguing thumbnail, Sylvia, but now I have enlarged it and read about it Ike it very much. How about a self portrait in a blue jelabee ?

Lovely sketching as usual.

Great little sketch Sylvia and I love the story behind it. It's always so tempting to buy things abroad and then realise that they don't look the same at home. You could try to walk your dog in your Jelabee when it gets dark and the neighbours are behind the drawn curtains. Halloween night could be a breaking point?!

oh so thank you for looking at my musings, and your lovely comments...yes Halloween could well be a good time to scare the neighbours. They actually are wonderful garments all wool so lovely and warm , hooded so cosy head and slits in the pocket region so you can get to your pockets in your clothes. I am inspiring myself all over again. Don't think the self portrait will happen though. Maybe another back view.

These little spontaneous gems are the best, Sylia. Love the immediacy of the sketches and the colors are gorgeous.

Just found this in my Moleskine sketch book. I did it last November in Morocco. We had a mini bus up to the High Atlas Mountains . I like a window seat and sit and sketch and write about what I see and feel . It is lovely to find these things and remember the moment. No composition as it is a spontaneous record. This is part of a Bannana tree and a Moroccan man on his scooter in his Jelabee with pointy hood and tassel. Great garments and I loved this orange one. I bought myself a blue one with the intention of walking the dog in it, so far I have not entertained the neighbours with itâ€¦Wimp that I am.
