(The artist) ... ending up with a position in advertising and marketing management. This led to extensive travel, which Bob used as a reason to visit museums, exhibits and galleries all over the United States and Europe. His sketchbook was always in hand ...

quote from A sketch of an artist as a older man by Alice Eachus/Smoke Signals

Beginning below are five pages from the sketchbook referred to in the quote. The first page shows a sketch of a bush overlooking a salt marsh. It was used as one of the elements in Costal Marsh / South Carolina. The page also shows a sketch from a visit to The Renwick, Washington, DC. You see a pen sketch with notes of Jean Charles Cazin painting. The inset is a picture of an oil study done later using the sketch and notes as a guidedashsee detail.

The page below shows the palmetto palm sketch used to create Costal Marsh / South Carolina. The note says ... Wild S. Carolina palmetto - Wando River area near Charleston 9/77. The other two sketches on the page were done in mountains east of Salt Lake City, Utah. October 8, 1977. One sketch is a study of a leaf-bare aspen and the other is a view looking to the west through Cottonwood Canyon towards the Great Salt Lake. The bottom sketch was added in 1992. A fading felt-tip pen was used to sketch a picnic table outside Bozeman, Montana.
