Sketchbook Snowdrops

I haven’t posted much recently, partly because I was working on projects for the class, and partly because I have had a bad back, which meant there were some days I couldn’t do very much at all. Standing or sitting for any length of time, only makes it lock and become more painful. Once one can actually move, it pays to keep it moving, however gently, and however long it takes to walk from one end of the room to the other ! The up side to all this has meant that I have been able to dispose of a lot of rubbish which had accumulated. Mostly notes and memos to myself which are now long out of date.

I also discovered some sketchbooks which have not been ‘finished’. I sort of knew they were there, somewhere, each with some blank pages, waiting for inspiration. Some are themed, such as garden sketches or nature notes. Others maybe a different size or format to how I later decided I wanted to work. I knew they were waiting for me to return to them, and as I have been restricted in my movements, now seemed as good a time as any to do something about it. Then they will be able to join other completed books on the appropriate shelf. To have too many unfinished books seems wasteful.
