And Random York, too--I'll try to take a photo of the setup. <BR/><BR/>The sketch stuff all fits in a fanny pack, but I'm so in dread of looking like a typical American tourist that I've got it down to stuff that fits in two pockets: a small sketchbook, four colored pencils, and a waterbrush.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the tip of the hat to Jeanette. She wields the camera and puts up with my ego. I'm not sure which is harder.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-48542740038764478692008-10-07T23:50:00.000-04:002008-10-07T23:50:00.000-04:00Hello James.I'm a blurker but faithful reader of y...Hello James.<BR/>I'm a blurker but faithful reader of your blog. This is my first comment. I really loved your small train portraits. It's an idea I will have to try on my next time on Amtrak.<BR/>But I wanted to mention that what I most appreciated was your including a photograph of your tools like you did on your "Kitchen Table Portraits" a few days back. I never would've known about using two waterpens with on filled with pre-mixed sepia. I've used waterpens for a few years and never thought of that. Anyway, my point is that those little behind the scene glimpses are SO helpful. I was curious to know what you used on that train journey. Many thanks for a marvelous and inspiring blog.wondermachinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09416495114960352411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-81398104338417811752008-10-07T23:23:00.000-04:002008-10-07T23:23:00.000-04:00I love those sketches...YOU DA HOMME!!!I love those sketches...YOU DA HOMME!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-5750407136993193392008-10-07T19:25:00.000-04:002008-10-07T19:25:00.000-04:00yeah i agree, great work jeanette! without your h...yeah i agree, great work jeanette! without your hard work we would only have half a blog here, haha, it proably wouldnt look right with mr gurney constantly holding the camera up to himself...people would think he has a huge ego...<BR/><BR/>instead jeanette can do it for him...and then when no one is looking she can tell him he has a huge ego...haha! just kidding, <BR/><BR/>keep up the great work, i always enjoy reading and seeing what the gurney duo is up to!!!!!Super Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464419328369980879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-35951053162376885932008-10-07T18:05:00.000-04:002008-10-07T18:05:00.000-04:00You know, when looking at this post again, I sudde...You know, when looking at this post again, I suddenly noticed the unintentional selfportrait of Jeanette Gurney in the TGV [Train at Great Vitesse(=speed)] window.<BR/><BR/>It illustrates perfectly the role she has in respect to this blog.<BR/><BR/>Join me in cheeriowing the main spotlight avoiding reporter/photographer of the GJ blog !Erik Bongershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409523352634066030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-77765750475311409992008-10-07T16:40:00.000-04:002008-10-07T16:40:00.000-04:00vos yeux sont des camérasqui mémorisentet vos main...vos yeux sont des caméras<BR/>qui mémorisent<BR/>et vos mains des projecteurs<BR/>avec ce blog<BR/>je voyage tous les jours<BR/>merci james<BR/>le bonjour à jeannettearecolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632115383528271935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-83372353883412716232008-10-07T11:55:00.000-04:002008-10-07T11:55:00.000-04:00Those are just great.
