My favorite sketching pen, the old Sheaffer Balance, was used for this sketch.

I love the lively, thick-and-thin lines!

We spent an overnight in the Hotel Frederick in Boonville, MO, recently converted into a European style boutique hotel but without losing any of its 19th C. charm. This was the view out our window the next morning, looking out over the Missouri River and early spring.

Wow. This is beautiful. Thank you for posting. I enjoy the simplicity of pen & ink; I also enjoy mixed media. I hope to see more of your work here :)

Nice drawing. Feels like you can tell the temperature somehow.

For me, that drawing evokes a lot of emotions.

Thanks very much Kate!

Near the top of the page, where the thread starts, there's a dropdown menu under "thread tools". One of the options lets you subscribe. :)

I THINK if you scroll down from the pane you're answering in, you'll find a subscribe box, and you can choose to have alerts sent here or to your email, but I could be wrong...
