Drawings and paintings from life, from my addled head, and others. This blog documents the often rough bits of my journey as an artist, as opposed to the nicer, pleasing bits.

germany and prague
some sketches from our recent trip to germany and the czech republic. as is always the problem for me when travelling to germany where my inlaws and sister live, the purpose of travel is to spend time with them, and though there is so much cool stuff to see and sketch, i rarely get the chance. it's only quick little scribbles that i manage to pull off when we're sitting in a cafe or something like that. i always say one day i will travel somewhere specifically to sketch, but i just don't know if that will ever come to pass. one can either experience things or sit there and record them in the sketchbook - i find it hard to do both or to find a good balance between the two. at any rate, i've been revisiting some of the scribbles that i hope to turn into at least color studies (partly from photos) more of which i will hopefully post in the future.

I love your sketches, Anselm, even if you couldn't spend as much time on them as you would have wished. Quick sketches often have more feeling than ones you spend hours on anyway.
Happy holidays!
