A written word lives forever

I’ve got a vendetta to destroy the Net, to make everyone go to the library. I love the organic thing of pen and paper, ink on canvas. I love going down to the library, the feel and smell of books.

Sketching with my pen gives me great pleasure - very often a few lines and a mere doodle start taking shape and something appears that can be worked into something more substantial.

  1. Lovely sketch and sentimental post, Maree. I didn't know Joseph Fiennes loved books and, after a bit more research, I discovered that he also toyed with the idea of being an artist and still carries a sketchbook. Interesting.
