Number 6, couch I did get close to the edge of the paper, eh? If I would tear it out on the tear line, it would leave the corner of the couch in the sketchbook. I used the 7 x 10 inch travel sketchbook. It is a Canson Mix Media book and takes watercolor pretty well for sketching. I added the ink which I like for sketching.
I pointed you to Kelly Borsheim, sculptor/painter the other day. I just got her newsletter which is like reading a book but full of information and tips. She is a prolific writer and teacher as well as being a great artist. The link to her newsletter is

You can learn and read back issues and sign up to receive it as well. Her brother, Steve, has a Air B&B in Hickory, North Carolina, and it is full of Kelly's art. There is a link from her newsletter, you can stay there and see her beautiful sculptures and paintings. Photos in the newsletter.
Kelly has an interesting post way back in 2002 titled "I Don't Know Much About Art". It is about what to think when people say that and then say, "But I like this."

That couch reminds me of the one my sister bought when she got married. She bought the love seat, couch, and chair. Her new husband came home and said that he thought he had died and gone to floral hell.
Bag Blog, Ha! We bought it when we were replacing stuff after the fire. It was cheap and the chair and ottoman with it are the dark blue of the pillows with little gold accents. Not my favorite color, but it has been worth the money. I love the chair and ottoman, they are "my seat" in the living room.
