A Book! A Book!

Selections from the French Sketchbooks

After many of years of wishing there were a way to share the drawings from my French sketchbooks, a fellow artist told me about a self-publishing

a site where, with great patience and a great deal of time, one can make a book.

Encouraged by this, I set about scanning about 90 pages of drawings. Since many of the drawings are long gone, sold to collectors in the U.S. and abroad, it was fun to bring so many back together again.

The book is for sale (all of which is handled by blurb.com). Because the books are printed to order, they ain't cheap---and my wish for a better quality paper, coupled with wanting a hardcover with a dust jacket, made the initial cost climb. Please accept my apologies. 

On the good side of the ledger, the book has 100 pages, and the print quality is quite reasonable. The number of pages enabled me to include lots of drawings of different types, as well as a few pages of musings from my 1995 French journal.

I hope that those of you who get a chance to see it will find it to be an encouragement to draw as much as you can.

Cheers,
Donald
