Sketchbook is a section of Bob Glover.com. It starts out with pages from a sketchbook and some loose sketches from the time time when he was a student. Notice that there are arrows for moving back and forth through the webpages of Sketchbook. Included in this section are finished drawings and paintings referred to as studies (for example). Several of the links to notes on works exhibited in the main gallery (Gallery 1) are to these sketchbook pages.

The exhibit of open sketchbooks in the page header is made up of three separate links*. The sketchbook on the left is linked to an enlarged view of the pages it shows. The sketchbook in the center is linked to a view of the artist's 1977 painting Costal Marsh / South Carolina that also shows and explains how sketches were used to produce it. The sketchbook on the right side of the header is linked to the first in a series of six pages that focuses on studying the works of other artists. These pages illustrate the following paragraph

I worked for 30 years in a business that had nothing to do with art but fortunately traveled to places where I was able to visit museums and galleries in my spare time. I carried along a sketchbook for making notes and studies. A newspaper article by Alice Eachus (Smoke Signals, June 2007) explains more about my sketchbooks.

I understand that when one artist studies closely the works of another its proper to give acknowledgement by flipping the copyright symbol. That's what I show in the detail to the left. I placed the backward "c" between my copy of the N. C. Wyeth signature and my own to acknowledge that I study his work. Bob Glover, the artist go back
