For me, looking back through this year’s sketches brings back happy memories of family time and finding new ways to make my art and connect with people.
Below are my personal favourites from the past 12 months and I look forward to sharing my sketches in 2021, hopefully with more crowds and live events.
Keep playing the WhereArtI quiz every Monday on my website – and in the printed Edinburgh Evening News. Thank you for your continued support.
1. Meadows Blossom
The year started so innocently. I was full of enthusiasm for trying new ways to make art. This watercolour was an experiment in not using black ink. Photo: Edinburgh Sketcher
2. Just to Say gift cards
During lockdown, I thought a lot about how people couldn't see each other so created hand painted cards with personal messages. They were very popular and by giving a percentage to the NHS Covid fund I was able to donate over £350. Photo: Edinburgh Sketcher
3. Lockdown Bedroom Office
As lockdown continued, I sketched from my house, capturing home-schooling and daily walks. I know many people related to this sketch of my bedroom/office. Photo: Edinburgh Sketcher
4. Empty Princes Street
Once we could take longer daily walks, I ventured into the city centre and it was amazing to see how empty the streets were. Photo: Edinburgh Sketcher
