Sunday Sketches - Sailboats at Sunrise



Welcome to Sunday Sketches from England! This piece was done in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11") in watercolour crayon and pencil. It's called 'Sailboats at Sunrise'.

My cell phone appeared to die on me yesterday morning, it felt like a major crisis. Luckily my husband was able to figure out that I had forgotten how to do a reset after a power off. On the iphone, you have to press 2 buttons for a few seconds to reset until you see the apple logo. Whew!

Lovely sketch, Christine! It's good that you were able to sort your phone issue out okay. Digital media can be scary at times. :)

Tim had that happen to his iPod and he tried the button trick but at first, it would not work. Then he took it out of the case and bam, little apple.
