Sketches

I started sketching during 2015.  I sketch when I am relaxed and want further peace.  I started out with a pencil and scraps of paper.  My great friend Tas guided me towards ink, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and encouragement.  Ink is less forgiving but infinitely more rewarding.

These are some of my sketches:
