"Coronado Cays"

                                                  8  x  11  Pen Ink  & Watercolor

I forgot to post this picture from this weekend in Coronado. This is the island where the classic movie "Some like it hot was made " at the Hotel Del Coronado.
I will have to make some drawings of that place next.

Coronado Bay Bridge

8 x 11 Pen, Ink & Watercolor

I had a chance today to go to the Island of Coronado but to get there you have to take this amazing bridge. The bridge itself underneath is painted Blue which makes it's even more striking.
So here are the sketches done of my time there.

Charming statue !

                                                   8  x  10  Micro ink pen

This sweet statue was perfectly posing for me at the same place as the previous post The Rancho Bernardo Winery in San Diego.
As I said this place is a treasure trove of sights to draw and enjoy.
If ever someone visits SD let me know I will gladly escort you there myself.

The hidden path

                                                    8 x 10    Micro ink pen & Micro brush pen

I just love the Rancho Bernardo Winery in San Diego. There you can find all kinds of treasures to draw your hearts content. This is just as you come in. There is a hidden path that takes you around the main street. I just love the way the shadows where draping themselves on the ground of this path so I started drawing.
(I heard in the background a couple people saying you should go look it's all free hand what she's doing.... =)
it is fun when you are on location for the interaction you get from passer by.

South Park restaurant

                                                     8 x 11  Ink pen

I got the good fortune to spend time with the San Diego Sketchcrawlers this morning. After much deliberation we ended up in South park where I had the lovely view of this restaurant the "Vagabond "
But my pleasure did not end there a block away was a lovely creperie ( yum French crepe ! )   where we ended for lunch. With a beautiful blue sky, my dog, good food and company... fabulous !

Simpson's Nursery- Don't Park here

The San Diego sketchcrawl group went to a local nursery called Simpson's Nursery. It is a very attractive place made by incorporating antique travel trailers, cars and a small little petting zoo. But they have one thing they ask very seriously is that you don't PARK on the left side. One of our sketcher's got told in not so nice a way by the owner which the employee latter apologized for his brash behavior.

20 women and One Buck !

                                                   8 x 10       Pen & Ink
