Draw, Draw, Draw - I'm trying to keep up with mottto

Some months ago I promised to post my Red Chairs from my Sketch-a-Day book. So here they are. Although my mind is made up to draw everyday, my time requires me to do something different, but I have been drawing. These are some of my current drawings from sketchbook.
