Lindy's sketch - Day 7 on the Grand Canyon rafting trip
Well that depends…for me, I spell it using the British addition of
the “u” to acknowledge the influence of my wife’s watercolours and her schooling in British schools. Lindy has been doing simple watercolours for many years, and I always watched her pulling out one of her many watercolour kits to capture a landscape. Although I loved watching her paint quick travel sketches, I kept to my pen sketches with color pencils. Watercolours just looked complicated, time-consuming, and awkward for traveling. After all, it required special paper, brushes, numerous paint, and water! I could not imagine introducing water, brushes, and wet paint to this
effort. Although, Lindy claims she is not an artist, she perseveres with her quick watercolour sketches with wonderful results. I love her approach and her sheer joy of doing travel sketches. In spite of a lifelong insistence that she is not an artist, my humble opinion is that she makes art.

Thank you Lindy - you continue to inspire me (and influence my spelling) after nearly 35 years!
