It was hard, but I managed, though surrounded by columns, domes and Palladian windows, to find some curlicues on campus today.

Laura - could we maybe see photographs of your sketchbooks - as sketchbooks (rather than the drawings in them) so we can see the size and how you have the paper bound? I know I for one would love to see them.

I love these studies - so loose and free. Ah, to be so spontaneous!!

Hi, Marly-- you're welcome and, yes, this is a tobacco- and- corn- motifed column from the old Playmakers building. I used a thick pencil to draw here, so didn't get in the same detail as I did in the other ones. Lindsay, I rarely use Moleskines. This is a handmade sketchbook. Thank you, Linda, Tam and Cin!

I love this grouping of details! I was thinking of spending some time drawing finials (I don't think my spelling is right and spellcheck won't catch it, the toppings on gates, roof peaks and that sort.)
