30th World Wide SketchCrawl

8 x 10 Pen & Ink

Well yesterday was the 30th World Wide SketchCrawl. 

When that happens It always trills me to know that there are so many people all over the world drawing with the same purpose "to create something of the moment you are living in ". 

I usually draw/sketch outside but I was invited to a lovely party at a friend's house.

It was a pot luck BUT for me bringing something to eat is not my choice at this time so I brought flowers "purple tulips and white daisies" and in honor of the SketchCrawl I drew them while everyone mingled.

SPARROWS !

Sparrows are so cute. What I like is the fact you can find them almost anywhere.

JURY DUTY !

                                               8  x  11 Pen & Ink with Tombow pens

I got Jury Duty on Election Day at the downtown San Diego courthouse and around the corner is this lovely train station amidst the tall buildings. So after my jury duty I sat a the bus stop and drew. People where very friendly.
On a side note we had a pep talk by the top judge here in San Diego thanking us for our time and saying it was a nice connection doing this on election day but for our information he told us on this day in 196.... Kennedy was at Horton Plaza (which is a beautiful mall a few block from the court house) campaigning for his election and he meet him.
I though it was cool too since my dad had a little time spent with his wife Jackie..........
combing her hair.

"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.
