The first sketchbooks transcribed into in Volume One indicate how this second volume might evolve. Certain things became apparent quite apart from his proof reading errors. He missed correct spelling, accurate names and, dropped many typos. However their inclusion is after all the very nature of a real Sketchbook. The process of selection and page layout may intrude on the fidelity of the original which he has nevertheless always try to retain.

A chronological sequence is considered but in some years he produced three sketchbooks, and in other years there were none. It is from these very first impressions that a thousand paintings proliferated, many sold in exhibitions. Others appeared in projects whereby groups of selected artists gathered and books describing their purpose were published in Spain, France, Alaska, and Washington state, USA.

So he must dive deeper but remain ever mindful.
