MEGAN'S WASH

"Megan's wash"
This drawing was done in Vermont at my nephew house, his wife Megan had some laundry drying. I just like to see and draw these !

the SAN DIEGO SKYLINE

                             6 x 18  Pen and ink with some Tombow markers

The San Diego Skyline is very attractive. I enjoyed drawing my city from the view of Coronado Island sitting on the pier of the ferry. I decided to not put any color on my original and I will add some on the prints I will make. I will post the color version later.
This drawing was made originally for the header of the blog of the 3rd Annual Urban Sketchers Sketch Crawl which will meet here in August 7.8.9. 2015.
Come join us if you can it will be worth it to visit our beautiful city.

THE ORGAN PAVILLON

Mix media 8 x 10 Pen And Ink with some Watercolor

This drawing was done on location in Balboa Park San Diego. It is such a lovely park to visit. There is so much to see there. Seeing a performance here is so wonderful. In the summer they rent these big umbrellas for $ 2 so the sun won't beat on your head while you enjoy the show, this is why they are all the same !
This piece with others is featured at the San Diego International Airport, Terminal 2 next to the international arrival gate, ground floor before the TSA security so anyone can visit.

City Farmers Market

I've had a lot of problems with my computer and posting anything on my blog has been impossible. I have so many pictures to post I will definitively be busy for a while.

These where done at a farmers market which was a great place to sketch.

FESTIVAL OF SAILS

 This is the biggest festival of sails on the west coast and it's in San Diego  

This is the biggest festival of sails on the west coast.
It was such a wonderful adventure to see these big ship up close. They are impressive and majestic. 

It is so overwhelming to think most of the transportation was done in these back in the day. I had the chance to board a few of them and draw.
One of the delight of this festival is you got to see individuals in the appropriate costumes for these ship , which I drew also.
There where moment when you would see some sailing in our bay which is the first drawing but they where changing course so often that it was hard to capture them on paper.

 At times we where surprised by cannon shooting or old soldiers shooting their muskets aiming toward the water.
It was such a great time seeing all these up close.
I'm including some pictures with the drawings I did.

Here is the link for where I made my drawing from  HERE

This piece was done for a project called the Virtual Paintout that takes you to different spots in the world and this month is an Island in Denmark called Zealand using Google Maps.
It's quite a fun way to find a location to draw.
