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.

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.
