Your dedication to making use of your book is admirable. Even more your ideas can be translated into many different types of work. Your sense of humor is great. Keep it up, you are doing great!
I think your work is amazing. Beautiful in fact. I am looking for an illustrator for my website.. I am just beginning. I am a wholistic health counsellor who believes that foods are the answer for a healthy life.
Are you interested?

I cannot believe what amazing beauty comes out of your head! That you can see it, put it on paper and keep the vision is amazing. What an artist you really are.
Hi! I’m doing a project for school (I go to Wellesley College) involving a vertical plant wall and journaling. I was looking for inspiration online when I saw your pages. Thank you for showing them. I’ve gotten a lot of food (and greens) for thought!
Since you didn’t have a new post up….I came in search of your sketch book. These pages are remarkable. I like your garden design and it says…big old tree. I also love how the sunflower turned out and the Comfrey. You are so good!
I love and enjoyed a lot your botanical sketches!!! I downloaded them trying to show a friend your work! because I like than “somebody” : ) make some sketches (for me) about my favorite ferns maiden hair fern among others…), butterflies, bettle´s, dragon flies, mushroms, also about gingko´s, honesty plants, loto´s flowers and leaves, “sand dolar´s”, pecten´s, jelly fishes, rainbow´s, hummingbird´s, tulip´s, forgetme not´s, poppie´s…
Hi Val – I discovered you through a link on Joyce McAdams’ newsletter. I’m so glad. I will use your work and your blog as inspiration, together with the techniques I learned from Joyce (see post in my blog). – Sharon
I like your drawings. They are very nice. I like this website too, it is wonderful! Your drawings and artwork is a big inspiration to me. I found this website on google.
I Love, Love, Love your paintings. What do you usually use for watercolor paints? The colors you use are so vibrant, yet realistic! I have been experimenting with watercolor crayons and pencils., but they are not the same as paints. Botanical painting has always been an attraction to me, but I never could find a class to channel it onto watercolor paper. You have inspired me to find something in the area to get me started!
Wow! So glad you commented on my blog so that I was able to find yours! Lovely!

How long do you spend doing a sketch spread over two pages? These are amazing. But you know I know how talented you are.
Love your blog, keep up the amazing work and sharing with the rest of us not-so-illustratively-inclined.

Thanks very much, Katie! A two-page spread takes several hours, but I find it to be very relaxing and therapeutic.
These are gorgeous !!! Please tell me you sell prints …
Beautiful work- you’re taking sketchbook art to a higher level. What fun and inspiration for the rest of us!
Delicious!
Me fascina!!! Did you sketched ferns? Many thanks for your lovely work!
Greetings from México.
Thank you! Ferns are on my “to-do” list.
Excellent!!! PLEASE let me know when you decide to start with ferns!!! Congratulations for your deep, simple, and lovely sketches!

Love the touch of your sketches. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up my pencils, pens and water colour brushes again.
I am IN LOVE with your style!! So glad to have found you!

How beautiful
I enjoy the nostalgic feel of your art — very warm and very endearing (and great subject, too!).
