I also want to say how much I love your sketches and how unique and instantly recognizable your style is. Your color palette, composition and drawing style always delights me. I think you'll have no trouble selling your work in 2012. I've also enjoyed seeing your photography which also highlights your exquisite sense of composition and color. I hope you are able to keep sketching and painting AND keep sharing with us for many more years!

I really need to go out for a few more 3 course meals so I can join in with you. <br /><br />My sketchbook based review is here<br />http://www.lizsteel.com/2012/01/2011-in-full.html<br /><br />Of course all my goals are still to be finalised... but I still think of all your wonderful and generous advice!!<br /><br />All the best for 2012!Liz Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180890583072227150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-66056641947655926772012-01-07T03:05:21.681+00:002012-01-07T03:05:21.681+00:00Great to read about your future.

When something like that happens, your plans just hit the trash bin and are never again thought about. Now since there is no one to account to for my time, I just do whatever takes my interest at the moment. <br /><br />I'm so glad you have finally made a plan on what to do about moving. I will look forward to reading about where you decided to move and seeing photos of your new studio. Have a wonderful year."JeanneG"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16398758813763335651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-65066071569439200792012-01-03T18:05:04.934+00:002012-01-03T18:05:04.934+00:00Happy New Year, Katherine!

I can't imagine how you need to improve your time management as you get so much done! The sketches you have posted here are wonderful, I think the love you have for the subject shows. The Cheshire garden sketch is fabulous and the food sketches not just beautiful but so interesting and personal too.

I think we have quite a few aims for 2012 in common. In fact, hope you don't mind but I might pinch a couple and put them on my own studio wall :)<br /><br />I really enjoy your blog and look forward to reading/seeing many more in the coming year. I loved your food sketches and was quite astonished how you could draw them so quickly! The colours are delicious :).
