It looks like she is trying to get his attention by waving her hand in his face, but he is 'tuning her out'...I have never got the nerve up to do sketches in public...yet. I do plein air on the beach, where people walk by, make a comment or two then go away. I guess I just have to 'tune people out' and not be so self concience.JLKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143762254451580276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-21153994121239312912012-02-26T19:20:03.491-05:002012-02-26T19:20:03.491-05:00Thanks for making it easier to post, James!

The hands do it, I think. Love it, and once again you give me more to aspire to.

By the way, at a blog reader's ...Thanks, Nick. <br />By the way, at a blog reader's suggestion, I'm experimenting with eliminating the Captcha step (apparently Blogger's spam detection is better now) and also allowing comments from users who are not registered with Blogger to comment. <br /><br />As regulars know, I like to keep the forum very open, and welcome off-topic comments, relevant links, and divergent opinions. On the rare controversial topic, I just hope people will refrain from any ad hominem remarks to keep the discussion productive. As a rule, I only delete obvious spam.<br /><br />If you leave a comment or a question, and I don't respond, forgive me! I'm often in a rush, but I read and appreciate all of your comments.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-80957621258434578082012-02-26T12:29:12.444-05:002012-02-26T12:29:12.444-05:00Haha, that's pretty grim!

That's the first time I've seen someone capture that weird thing people do in a drawing.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179888575243031682noreply@blogger.com
