Simple? Are you kidding? I couldn’t come up with something so wonderful if I tried for 100 years! This is wonderful, Jan, and like Bev said, a calendar of Wagga sketches would be priceless. Great work!

Thank you so much Bonnie…a calendar of Wagga sketches? Now there’s an idea…don’t recall Bev saying that, so thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I’m so pleased (if puzzled) that you llike this, as I can see all my mistakes. But I guess while I find this easy and see it as simple, as I’ve been doing continuous line pen and ink or felt tip sketches for so long now, it must seem more complicated than it is.
I guess this is what I feel I’m best at, by way of art stuff.
So thank you heaps. I wouldn’t have even dare show this when I first joined RB earlier this year.
So this is evidence of the amazing unconditional love and support I’ve found here from you and all my wonderful bubbler friends. xxxx

Hi Catherine. Thank you heaps for your comment and lovely words. I included this in a calendar (as a Chrsitmas present for my mum and nephew). The calendars arrived a few days ago and I was stunned with how well this one looked! So maybe its better than I thought? xxxx

Wonderful work jan. I can’t draw. LOL

Sharon, in the process of replying to a recent comment, I noticed I had ignored you and not given you the courtesy of thanking you for you wonderfully kind comment way back when!
So now…thank you my firned for your kind words…!!!
I don’t know that I would call this drawing. It’s easy and anyone can do it. You simply put your pen/pencil, or as in this case, felt tip on the paper and without lifting it, draw what you see in front of you. You can look down at the paper while you’re doing it, but simply keep the pen moving… If you look closely at this, you’ll notice there are a number of mistakes, but I just kept going and did my best to fix or hide them…Give it a go. You might just surprise yourself my friend!!..xxxx
