So inspiring. For years I’ve meant to keep a sketchbook again, as we all did when we were starting out. I need to be more disciplined and just do it. I’ve bought sketchbooks through the years and started them, then gotten out of the habit. Your work here has inspired me to try again more earnestly. I love all the comments and they are so true. Your work is so utterly authentic and moving.

These are wonderful. I feel as if I’ve just taken a trip to Europe. I always bring a nice sketch book but find it hard to focus with so much stimulation.

I like this a lot. I could make a positive comment for every page. You’ll have to forgive me for saying this but a newcomer, just seeing your finished paintings might assume that you just slickly copy photographs (though any time spent carefully looking reveals your mind working). The facets you usually provide gives us insight into how your works are developed and this shows us your industriousness and thought-processes even further. I’m like Scott; I rarely even draw in my notebook when I’m ‘on holiday’. I don’t know why and I’m unlikely to pick it up (again) but I am impressed by what you have here. I especially like the paintings of the airports and the Rijksmuseum and the light on the clouds and the wing and engine of the plane…most people would take a digital photo and fall back asleep.

This is great. I’m always so jealous of your sketch books. I remember when we were at JFK together, waiting for a plane… you sat there and made a nice little painting while I watched some stupid football game. I can never travel and work. I have to be settled before I get the urge.

Love the sketchbook, specially those little insights from the window of the plane. They are really beautiful. I wonder how can you paint in such small space without making a mess? :O What type of ink you use for your quick ink sketches? Thank you, -a
