MY CHALLENGE.
Walk a minimum of one mile from home. Record where you’ve been with a drawing, sculpture, photo or painting and then walk back. Every day for a year.
Please add comments — I really enjoy the feedback. And if you want to join in with the ONE MILE FROM HOME challenge let me know and I’ll add you to the blogroll

Are you talking about the line leading in? If so, I like it, gives a sense of depth and distance to the picture with out mucking up what your subject is. Works for me in this one, anyway.
No Tami, I meant the info about the size of the drawing and media used, below the post text. Some people do it as a matter of course.
I think it seems to help some people, sometimes I look at it other times I dont. I guess its nice to know what size it is and what it was done with. I really like the simplicity of line in this one.
I vote for adding the info. I think it really helps other artists. (And I should do it more myself, since sometimes people have questions.) I love the simple elegance of this sketch, and many of your quickie sketches.
Oh, Sorry, misunderstood the question. As a matter of fact, I missed the info too, so obviously, I am not reading it much...
so simple but informative - delightful
Yes! I love reading the snippets about your life and your process and what you think about what you draw.
I absolutely love your pen drawings. I love how minimal they are and how loose they are. I am a graphic artist so I tend to be very tight and am recently learning how to loosen up. Great job!

This is a wonderful blog. Your discipline is inspiring and your drawings/paintings are superb. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Hi Julie, I came across your blog just now. It is the middle of a very dark night in Vermont, USA. I am staying with my niece and her little boy in a huge house in the middle of the woods and was feeling a bit homesick despite this being a beautiful place, it is very remote and I can't sleep, so I looked up Jersey Farm Woodland park which is just across the road from where I live in St Albans.Your site came up! I go out and sketch as often as I can and I recognise some of your drawings. I love your project and did a similar one myself a few years ago. Best wishes Gerry Wilmer, fellow sketcher!
