Johnnynorms and Rachel

Hello, glad to make my appearance at last. This is reminiscent of the masque ball, but I'm so late I've arrived as myself, with my real companion as herself. We each drew ourselves, and I put the two together. I think hers looks much more like her than mine does of me, I wish she drew more often.

I'm looking forward to some brave real-life drawing, which I hardly ever do. I'd like to be your occaisonal correspondent from London, and when I feel more like the countryside, then I can head out to Kent and correspond from there instead. Bromley where we live is boringly suburban, but counts as both London and Kent. People who have lived nearby include the painter Samuel Palmer, H.G.Wells, and Enid Blyton - and apparently William Blake had a vision of angels on Peckham Rye, but I wouldn't want to go there!

Thankyou for the warm welcome!

Yes, it's cheap to stuff a subject's hand into his pocket because you can't draw hands, but this picture has a sense of "solid whimsy" that I like to see in artwork, so I decided to post it. (Is it alright to admit that I like to like to look at my drawings?)

What kind of things do you like to see in drawings, paintings, etc.?
