Proud Urban Sketcher!

Eeeeh! I am now officially an Urban Sketcher!! I feel really honoured to be sketching alongside all those amazing artists from around the world (if you haven't visited them yet, look over here) and representing this little corner of the planet - and a bit apprehensive that I'll come up to scratch. My sketching in the streets so far has been pretty erratic, mostly when opportunity met spare time met inspiration... I'll have to apply myself a little more than that and make the opportunities happen. But I am excited and enthusiastic - it's pouring buckets right now otherwise I would be out there already - maybe I'll have to go to a shopping mall to get my urban sketches up and running!

Hi Cathy ... great urban sketches! I thought that you might be interested in the new Urban Paradoxes E-Zine, perhaps even submitting a sketch for inclusion.

hi Jane - thanks and enjoy the USk blog - I think it's terrific!

Thanks so much Liz - and have a wonderful trip to Sweden - what a joy to be meeting a new granddaughter. Hope you get a chance to paint!

Frank, thank you - I feel slightly overwhelmed at what I've got into - but perhaps when I'm on top of it I'll have a look...

Laura and Ale - thank you both - hope I can keep the USk's flowing

You do a wonderful job with street scenes (well, actually any scenes you paint!)... hope you enjoy being part of the Urban Sketchers.
