And, if those just for fun eggs hatched, what would you get? Baby dinosaurs of course!

Sketchbook Journal: Jan. 25, 2011



I have been watching so many dinosaur shows with my grandson that I am now seeing them everywhere. I found this one on the floor of our garage, or at least a stain on the floor which looked to me like this dino on a nest. I added the eggs just for fun, and put her up in a tree, since birds are today's living dinosaurs, according to one of the shows we watched!

Sketchbook Journal: Jan 19, 2011

Ink and watercolour of the upper stories of buildings on Talbot Street and Market Lane
I met Cheryl at the market and we spent an enjoyable couple of hours sitting at the windows upstairs chatting and sketching. We hope to meet again to sketch, perhaps at a coffee house next time.
