Beautiful! I don’t travel much so my initial thought was “bummer, I guess I can’t do this” but why should I restrict this activity to travel when it can do this from anywhere? Love it.

Of course. Drawing and journaling help engage your brain...wherever you are.

Great to see these postcards, Bill. They're fresh and vigorous. Been enjoying your essays too.

These are amazing paintings / postcards! I've been taking to drawing with pen while on trips and I've found that i really "see" a place much better than taking a photo.

Inspiring post! Going to have to buy a set of watercolors.

Go for it, David! BTW, there are Urban Sketchers groups all over the world now. Look them up on your next trip.
