Charleston sketches from an erratic life

I feel as though I'm leading a good, but interrupted, life, which is scarcely odd, because I am. So, now....  where were we? Back from Charleston, where it was chilly and gray, though we had a lovely time with our English visitors. A busy weekend and busy weeks ahead. Here are a few Charleston scenes. I have a few more, which I will share anon. I will not be traveling again in a big way until late June or early July. Home just in time to enjoy my garden, my family, my friends and to work on my watery theme.

' Here are the three accordion sketchbooks from my trips to Hawaii, Paris, and Charleston. I like seeing them all together. They have such different feelings and moods. The Charleston one is the most languid.

I just love all your work. I must make myself an accordian sketchbook. I've been thinking that ever since I first saw yours.I must say your watercolours are just scrumptious. The way you use colour is amazing.

I love your sketching and painting style and the colors you get out of your watercolors are just beautiful.
I am heading to Charleston at the end of this week and I am hoping to capture spring in the city in my journal. Your colors really captured spring in the south and I am afraid of my Maine palette.
What brand of watercolors do you use?

SO gorgeous...I delight in your sketches and the way they invite us into Life, capital L!

A big thank you to all you great commenters! Sue, I think it must be a bottle brush flower. That name kept floating through my mind as I wrote in the sketchbook, but I forgot to look it up! Julia, yes, it was in one of the camellia allees. Shirley, good question. I promise to address it soon. I have lots to say on the subject, but not the time right now. Thank you for asking!

Lovely camellias.

The accordian sketchbooks look great together. Maybe they should be framed together too?
