Introduction

Welcome to my new blog:  Phebe Sketches.

I stumbled on a wonderful website and organization, Urban Sketchers.  (http://www.urbansketchers.org/)

This is an international organization for people who sketch where they are - at home, while travelling, whatever.

My husband and I are rolling luggagers (http://rollingluggagers.blogspot.com) - so I had planned to sketch and draw my way around the world.  I'm a retired art teacher, and had looked forward to spending time with my own artwork again.

Except that didn't quite happen.  Somehow I got sidetracked, and forgot about those plans.

But then today, 6 July 2016, there it was, Urban Sketchers, calling my name.  Saying "Phebe, draw!  Sketch!  Paint!"  My fingers itched, my hands demanded paper and pen.

So, here's the blog.  Phebe Sketches.  I don't have drawings from our first nearly four years of travel.  But we have many years of wandering the world ahead of us.  I'm planning to add drawing to my understanding and exploring as we wander.
