Here is a quick sketch I did en-route to the UK, in the airport in Istanbul. I didn’t think I’d have enough time to sketch as the connection was quite short, but the flight took ages to board. I certainly didn’t have time to add colour…anyway the airport is mostly grey!

I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been travelling to the UK to spend Christmas with family. However here is the last sketch I did at Casa Amara in the Philippines – suitably Christmassy. Belated Merry Christmas and advanced Happy New Year to everyone who follows my posts and comments on my sketches – thank you for the continuing support.

Here is another non-Christmassy sketch from our trip to Casa Amara – this one done on the beach, in the drizzle…hence the white splotches over the paint. On the right is a dog curled up – though my daughter thought it was a pumpkin and my wife thought it was a dwarf!

Here is another sketch at Casa Amara – its built on the cliff so this little inimitable pool has a spectacular view (thats the sea to the right – looking rather grey). In the background the staff were setting up tables for our evening meal – what a fantastic spot.

I plucked up enough courage today to have a go at sketching the living area in Casa Amara where we are staying for the weekend. You might say that their decorations are a little over the top? In this drawing alone there are 12 Christmas trees and that must be only a small proportion of the ones in the resort. This sketch of course took me more than my usual 45 minutes!

Here is my first sketch done on a little beach weekend – a family get together for my daughters 18th birthday. The resort (Casa Amara) is festooned with Christmas decorations including several huge nut cracker figures.

Here is another sketch of one of our mysterious bits of Christmas decor. We get this out every year and put it on the shelf …but I can’t remember at all where it came from!

Here is a little winding down sketch done before going to bed. In the background is my daughters advent calendar – this year a Clinique one…so she gets toiletries or makeup every morning!

On Sunday we finally put up our Christmas decorations – better late than never. This wooden decoration is something that a friend gave to us many years ago….we have lots off oddments to decorate our house, that come out every year…some of them falling apart but with happy memories.
