These two pieces are very nice, especially the difficult subject of the boat, which has good proportions and sits nicely on the mud.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-74221919353660574722014-05-18T16:43:28.367+01:002014-05-18T16:43:28.367+01:00I am glad to see you back in blogland, John, and w...I am glad to see you back in blogland, John, and with these wonderful sketches!

Sometimes we do need a break from art and it does take a while to ease back into it especially when life kicks in hard. I totally know where you are coming from with all this. Just go with the flow and do what you feel and don't force it. Your sketches are beautiful as ever. You certainly haven't lost your wonderful skill.
