" The Watering Can "

                                                   7  x  7  Pen & Ink

I love watering cans, this one is an old one. I have quite a few around. This one is outside my door as I walk out. I've been wanting to sketch it because of the fence, ivy and the flower pot it creates great shadows. Which is what I love. 

A rose by any other name......

8 x 11 Pen & Ink with a little watercolor

This is the sketch I made at the last San Diego Sketchcrawl. It was such a nice fellowship time with other artists.

"The Orange Tree "

                           8  x  11     Pen & Ink and little Watercolor

This was done at Andy lovely backyard during our San Diego Sketchcrawl. This tree was so nice to draw. I like it when something stands out to me that say's " Draw Me ".

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 !

5  x  7  Micron pen

                                                         5  x  7  Micron pen

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.
