You were working for "Cycling" at a time when I was avidly reading it. As to the "sparse" snow scenes (and anything else in sketching) I suppose one pays for the skill in knowing what to leave out and "suggest".<BR/><BR/>HHnB:<BR/>Yes, Donald Maxwell does come to mind - another of my favourite artists - I enjoy delicate pen and watercolour sketches.<BR/><BR/>Vita:<BR/>I suppose I used to dress a bit like that in the 50's - we all did (cycling "plus fours, etc.). I have updated a bit since then although I refuse to go into skin tight Lycra!<BR/><BR/>Isabelle & Barret B:<BR/>I enjoy being out on a bike in the snow, but only when not deep - the trouble being the snow builds up and clogs the mudguards.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-30730593365926157722008-12-31T15:14:00.000+00:002008-12-31T15:14:00.000+00:00And a Happy New Year!

I worked for a year on "Cycling" in the late fifties and Paterson, or someone very much like him, used to contribute drawings like that. He was paid by the square inch and when he did snow scenes there used to be arguments - because the areas of snow were just areas of white space. I trust you don't cycle when the snow is halfway up to your wheel spindles.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-3715974786544217402008-12-21T00:35:00.000+00:002008-12-21T00:35:00.000+00:00And a very happy 2009 to you too!And a very happy 2009 to you too!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236459315155380910noreply@blogger.com
