Plein air sketch done in Balboa Park,

This sketch was accepted as part of a display for the contemporary exhibition throughout the San Diego International Airport terminal 2 to celebrate the centennial of our famous Balboa Park.

CORONADO BAY BRIDGE

9 x 6   Pen and Ink with some Watercolor on a Stillman & Birn - Alpha Series

Here is a drawing done with the San Diego Urban Sketchers from the Island of Coronado.
Drawing can be so fun especially when the view is fabulous like this one but even if you want to just draw a simpler view, drawing can be a release of your creativity onto paper and the more you practice the better you get.
I would encourage everyone to keep a small travel sketch pad to jot down something you think is nice, after some time you will find so many of your drawing to help you relive a moment or just enjoy again the setting.

" GODZILLA "

8.5 x 11 Pen & Ink

This is a sketch done with the local SketchCrawlers of San Diego at the " La Jolla Cove ".

It's really a beautiful place. Gosh, I'm so thankful to live here !

Now you ask why am I calling it Godzilla !!!

Well there is this seagull I wanted to draw on top of the light but it did not workout that way. So as you can notice it turn into a Godzilla and before I make it worse I thought I would leave it alone as a funny anecdote.

So if you look closely there is a dinosaur on the street lamp. ha ! ha ! = )

ps. If you click on the picture it will make it bigger.

The Lemonade Award

I received  " The Lemonade Award " for a positive attitude and gratitude ,

from Joan Sicignano who is a fabulous watercolorist.

This award today is not what I deserve because my attitude today  stink's. I am definitively not in a positive attitude and isn't it strange this is the day you get something like this.

It's telling me stop whining ! and be happy, isn't there a movie or something with this phrase, anyway.

So with this in mind I am doing it....OMG somebody kick me please !

Gosh sometimes it's so hard to pull yourself out of these yuk moments !

I'm going to stop focusing on me and look at a few people much more deserving.

So I am passing this award to :

Katherine Tyrrell of Making a Mark

Gabi Campanario of Urban Sketchers

Tommy Kane USk correspondent

Dolly Pitcher of Takes-n-Tudes

Dean H. of Deanos-den

Nancy of Every Photo Tells a Story

Michelle Burnett of Following the Masters

These individuals are much more deserving. They add so much to our world with their efforts, talents and great attitudes.

Please check each and everyone.

The rules for this if you choose is :

-Post the logo

-Nominate 7 others blogs that show gratitude and attitude

-List and link your nominator in your post and blog

-Let them know there recipients

But you can do whatever you want. After seeing each of these recipients again my attitudes is getting better, thank you all.
