Joel and I returned to England again this spring, but this time we headed north. We toured Manchester, the Lake District, Yorkshire and finished in the Peak District. The weather somewhat co-operated, but we persisted anyway and managed to do six sketches. Is there anything more pleasant than sketching in an English garden and/or countryside? No, I don’t think so 🙂

I was very glad that the Westport Public Library thought of me to help illustrate and re-design their new library card. It warmed the cockles of my booklover heart. I wanted to pay homage to the resident swans in our local lake here.
