Colorful

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your nice comments. They keep me posting.
Last week I was out and about one evening and passed this old barn. The angle for the sketch is a bit boring since I was sitting in exactly in front of the building but the pond and the road limited my choise.
Having to do with the second best position for a drawing is very common, at least to me.
Have anyone of you experienced the same? I´m also a bit shy when it comes to sitting down in public and try not to
draw too much attention to myself.

Spring is sprung

It has been a long dark winter but finally spring is here and with it some extra energy to spend on sketching. Sorry for not posting for so long but for some reason this winter has been very uninspiring.....and as usually, dark. The sketch above I did a couple of weeks ago in Uppsala. In Uppsala you can find the oldest university in Sweden, founded in 1477. The whole town has an academic air to it. I draw a very wellknown view with the cathedral in the background.
