Sketching would be so much more relaxing while enjoying a cup of coffee than reading the online news. I also love what sketching does for my memory. No matter what I sketched and no matter how long ago, my memory of that specific time is always perfect.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-52070455352765662132014-12-16T15:38:59.268+01:002014-12-16T15:38:59.268+01:00Thanks for sharing samples of your great art.
