In compiling this post I notice most of my sketch subjects are hardly contemporary – more like 100 years old -  so perhaps I’m not as up-to-date as I like to think!

It isn’t always obvious where the ideas inspired by my visit will take me.  Here is just one example.

If you like the “love seat” design, please feel free to leave a comment :-)
