I've always admired drawers and painters who can sit at a beautiful location and recreate its magic and beauty in their own eyes. And Laura's work looks stunning capturing her special places and experiences. What an exceptional skill.

(And, as my regular readers will know, I love Iceland dearly.) I really wish I'd learnt how to draw. That’s such a beautiful picture, I adore it.

When my parents come back from trips, they don't show off photos - they show off my dad's pen-and-ink and watercolour drawings. I have several of them hanging on my walls. (BTW, I could see Laura's Iceland drawing as a great kitchen wallpaper!) <abbr><em>Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SomedaySyndrome/~3/a63_MhsQtmI/" rel="nofollow">Why bother with authenticity?</a></abbr></em> Laura’s work reminds me a lot of what my father does when he travels.

It looks great. Dave2, I have lots of tips about travel sketching---shoot me a line via my blog if you'd like some encouragement and info! Like Andy, I'd love to see soem of your sketches, too. Andy, you SHOULD pick up pen and paper---with your eye and a little practice, you'd be a great travel sketcher! The charm of this kind of work is its immediacy and its lack of finesse. <abbr><em>Laura’s last blog post..<a href="http://laurelines.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/01/inaugural-cuisine-on-a-snowy-day.html" rel="nofollow">Fancy food on a snowy day</a></abbr></em> Andy, thanks so much for this post!

Would love to see some of your sketches, Dave2. I have to admit, I’m not much of a sketching person myself but you’ve got my interest piqued now. Would love to see some of your sketches, Dave2.

I eventually gave up the sketchbooks when I started blogging. Then, last year, a friend gave me a moleskin, and I started sketching again. I love it. It's a more private and personal way to remember my travels, and something I like to do just for me. Laura's notebooks are beautiful, and makes me wish I had never stopped drawing myself! <abbr><em>Dave2’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Blogography/~3/517307110/goodbye_1.html" rel="nofollow">Goodbye</a></abbr></em> When I began traveling many years ago, I kept a sketchbook to keep track of things I wanted to remember.
