Hospital waiting room by Tessa Gwynne

A good sketch came out of it though. Were you sneakily drawing the couple or is it you and hubby?

I was sneakily drawing the couple Marjorie. People are generally very unobservant aren’t they!

Good sketches Tessa. Hope your husband soon recovers :)

Excellent sketches. This is all very familiar to me, we seem to have spent ages in waiting rooms over the past couple of years. I sketch too, but always made-up stuff.

Many thanks Carole and Lew. I knew the waiting room scenario would ring bells with some of you. Sketching sometimes takes the edge off the worrying side.

Great sketch, you could probably fill a pad in some waiting rooms it takes that long.

Fabulous sketch and observation

Such brilliant observation and a stark sense of reality in your sketches Tessa. Sorry to hear your husband is poorly and wish him a speedy recovery.

Many thanks Carole, Dixie and Heather, and for your good wishes. You’re right Dixie. We were there for about three hours, waiting for tests, then results, but they were very good, so no complaints only praise.

I think we all recognise that scene, Tessa.

I’m sure we do Dawn. There weren’t many there fortunately but all of a certain age!

Super sketches Tessa, I hope hubby will be back firing on full cylinders very soon.

I think we should devote a whole section to hospital waiting rooms...I’ve got lots. Nicely observed Tessa. Hope your man is recovering.

Thanks ladies. X
