...Thanks for writing such a lovely comment, Traci.<br /><br />I'll definitely consider drawing more views such as these with a printed sketchbook in mind. I thought I'd gotten drawing Paris out of my system a few years ago, but it seems I haven't!Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795125912781172663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795807744752741877.post-90763096401979249802010-10-22T00:11:29.158+01:002010-10-22T00:11:29.158+01:00Simon, these are so good it's painful to look ...Simon, these are so good it's painful to look at them. I would also buy these, if you were to publish them in a travel book. <br /><br />I just went to a handful of the places you have been sketching (Paris, London), so it's super cool to compare my memories with your recorded observations.<br /><br />So, super cool, and also painful.

You should perhaps self-publish these (along with your other holiday sketches) as a travel sketchbook).
