What fun! I love seeing what you are up to and reading about how you work. We have a lot in common, especially a love of working en plein air, although I don't always finish my sketches and 32 pages in 11 days is doing well. Then again it was Lake Como, what a gorgeous spot to sketch. <br /><br />I like how you say your "work is a bit more spontaneous … that the light and atmosphere change quickly ... and if there are figures in the scene you have to put them in before they move (yes they move!) and that … once you see a scene you have to get busy." Nicely expressed and in that contains half the fun. Love your ink line sketches of people too. Lovely meeting and chatting Happy Sketching! :) SuziAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041657414592878401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752084389339915950.post-71135504873477611142014-12-23T19:06:06.202-08:002014-12-23T19:06:06.202-08:00Thanks Polly!

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!<br /><br />Mary, this did take a bit of planning and thought. I enjoyed thinking about my responses and trying to decide what to include. Thank you for enjoying it so much! I've really enjoyed seeing many of the blogs that have done this so far and getting into the thought process of other artists.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752084389339915950.post-16423715009369395192014-12-23T17:21:51.398-08:002014-12-23T17:21:51.398-08:00This is a fascinating post, Joan; I have been look...This is a fascinating post, Joan; I have been looking forward to your blog hop post since Jo Castillo first mentioned that you were "next" after her. I enjoy the work and thought you put into this entry (which, since I did the same a couple of weeks ago, I know that answering the blog hop questions requires careful reflection and writing time).

I lived in New Jersey and always went to see it. <br /><br />I enjoyed so much following you thru your watercolor sketches, especially on your cruise/Italy trip.<br />I wish you a wonderful Christmas Season and hope the new year will continue to be one of successful art trips!juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752084389339915950.post-88736323845548425862014-12-23T14:27:35.780-08:002014-12-23T14:27:35.780-08:00It is always a treat to read about the artists pro...It is always a treat to read about the artists process,I love this post Joan!

I admire your sketching and I agree that if you paint on the spot you can remember sights and sounds, and mean more than any photograph can. You make ordinary scenes very painterly. I will pop over and look at your friends blogs too.
