Sketch of Mangostein and Rambutan in a bowl. These are my 2 favourite tropical fruits. They are seasonal, starting now.
I sketched this in Chiang Mai at the weekend. I don’t know how I even had time to do this. It was a hectic but fun wedding weekend. This was a bowl of fresh fruits the hotel placed out in my hotel room.
Below are some photos of the hotel. We stayed at Verandah Resort in Chiang Mai. It’s a beautiful resort and spa in the hills of Chiang Mai, with beautiful padi terraced grounds. The service was faultless and the food was amazing. It was the perfect venue for a wedding and some R+R, if only I had some of that!

Looks like a wonderful place to sit back & relax!
I like your sketch too.
I’ve never heard of those fruits. I obviously live under a rock. 😉

You know what, I’m happy to see my sketches too. I kind of missed it after I finished my year challenge. I’m going to keep it going as often as I can x

That is such a fantastic idea. I was wondering what to do with my sketches. I love the title. It sounds so important. Thank you 🙂

In my current mood for books and pens, I love that you take your Moleskine on holiday and record in it daily. You must have piles of books filled with sketches by now. One day they could be curated and compiled into “The Travelling Eye: A Compendium of Artistic Observations” and sold in those cute little stores we like :-)xo
