Train ride to Stirling outside of Edinburgh, to visit Stirling Castle. Spring break coincided with a business trip my husband had to make to Aberdeen. So my son and I went to the UK to visit my Urban Sketcher friend Isabelle, in London and then meet my hubby in Scotland for a little exploring - and of course sketching.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had a busy weekend of walking, sketching and refreshments. The Ace Hotel put us up in hipster style and we could walk or subway to every location on out list. Of course, our list turned out to be more ambitious than we could possibly cover. But trying was fun. Pictured here: taxis in front of the hotel, Madame X and Dr. Pozzi by J. Singer Sargent at the Met., and yet more taxis. Yes the Guggenheim is a wonky sort of building, my rendering adds to the effect.</span><br />

A few years ago when I was last in Honduras I had some fantastic sopa de pescado (fish soup) and have been searching for the same flavor ever since. At last one of the first restaurant stops was at the original location of the soup I was seeking. Almost as good at the original visit. Lots of bones in a whole fish.Judith Dollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081573289207675098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446608956136617156.post-61509338029011127062015-05-08T13:02:00.000-07:002015-05-08T13:04:38.123-07:00Southern Makers are southern awesome<br />
Southern Makers in Montgomery Alabama - May 2-3, 2015.<br />

Live music stage with seating made of hay bales. You end up straw britches after sittin' a spell.<br />
Food demo and tastings: honey, moon shine, craft beer, pickles, pimento cheese, etc. Makers of: brooms, clothes, letterpress art, painters, re-purposed stuff like speakers made from suitcases, boats, jewelry, furniture and more. Road trip was worth every mile traveling with my D.<br />

With 4 bikes strapped to the back of the truck along with all our gear we headed out early-ish on Sunday morning headed up to Tyler State Park. That site was chosen for its hiking/biking trails and the fact that it had a spot open. S had fun ripping up and down the hilly trails and both of his bikes were in need of repair by the end of it all. Hardly anyone in the park and once the clouds cleared a pretty nice day. I caught this sketch from my hammock, hanging in the shade, while the guys did a little bike repair.<br />

Just a quick post on my return from Singapore. Tagged along with D on a trip to Singapore. My first trip to an Asian country. Sweet people, tasty food and colorful sights. Lunar Chinese New Year was going on during our stay, celebrated by lots a big family gatherings. And just like home, lots of traditional family holiday favorites. Here is a sketch done at the Sri Mariammam Temple. A nice teen girl, dresses in jewel-toned silk dress, from India came and visited with me. She wrote the name of this goddess on my sketch in English and Hindi. I stayed a few hours at the temple there was a lot to see and far to much to draw.Judith Dollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081573289207675098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446608956136617156.post-52638228936744758822015-03-04T07:58:00.002-08:002015-03-04T07:58:30.002-08:00S!ingapore sketchesI started a fresh new sketchbook (Stillman & Birm Beta) on a trip to Singapore a couple of weeks ago. I am happy to say that it was almost completely full when I returned. I made a connection with Urban Sketchers in Singapore thru their Facebook page and spent a day with them sketching in the Arab St. area. Chris shared her lunch of bringal and treated me to the local ginger tea. The perfect way to go out sketching with locals off the tourist track. Here are just a few from my book - movie time on the looonggg flight, lunch, and a view from a very modern library located above a mall on Orchard Street. The library was a great quiet place to sketch the view out the window.<br />

Ha ha trip. The city was fun, lots to explore and good food and drink. The weather was even brilliantly sunny. The afternoon before we returned home we were out in Fremont, Earth and I tripped on a curb and almost completely knocked out one of my front teeth. It happened about 10 minutes after I finished this sketch. And no, I hadn't even had a beer. I have to report that the folk in the ER took great care of me, and after shuttling over to an ER with a dentist on call, I was out of there in less than 4 hours! With my tooth wired back in place, and my dignity cratered by a swollen and scraped face. BUT I did not break my sketching (and work) arm or do any worse damage. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

From the top of the bleachers I captured some of the action at yesterday's homecoming pep rally. <div>
It is a tradition for the parents of senior football players, cheerleaders, band and dance squad to performed. The dad's of the cheerleaders dressed up as repulsive cheerleaders with the hairy legs and overstuffed shirts...they were particularly scary. I think the kids were somewhere between delighted and mortified. Gyrating moms and dorky dads made for a pretty entertaining show.<br /><br /></div>

Just a week ago I was in Oxford, UK. I believe they filmed parts of Harry Potter movies at some locations there. The whole place looks like a fantastic movie set. Lucky them, for the Oxfordians (?) it is just where they live and to me, super cool movie set. Anyway, a few sketches on location at Radcliffe Square and in the Vault & Garden Cafe´. The last is of Half Moon Pub in Putney section of London. </div>

A different activity each day. Speakers and presentations etc. On Thursday I went to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts for the Design Week presentation by Jonathan Hoefler. He is a type designer, specializing in web fonts. Since I am a graphic designer mostly working with print media, web fonts are relatively new to me. Now I know - print fonts on the web are <i>bad</i>, don't do it.<br />
At the end there was a Q&A segment. One of the Q-ers was pretty enthusiastic, her comment, "I'm not a designer, so I'm like WHOA…is this Sci-Fi?". She cracked me up. A theatre with a couple hundred people to hear this dude talk about pixels and letter spacing. Nerdville and I'm a resident.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">High school band is back in full swing, and has been since the first of Aug. At the end of summer just before school starts back up, they put on a little exhibition for the parents. Wouldn't you know it starts raining on the performance field just before the exhibition was due to start. All the instruments were wheeled back into the small gym. The band has 300 kids, so you can imagine how many parents and family members were on hand. Way more than fit comfortably in the gym. We ended up sitting on the floor around the edge of the basketball court. We had an up close and personal view of all the horn section. You could even say we had "smell-a-vision". August - Texas - afternoon practice. You get the picture. The first sketch is of the warm up that the kids do to loosen up. Then the drum line and all the kids listening to the band instructors. This was about as public as I have sketched in "real life" not a sketchcrawl or off to the side somewhere out of the way.</span>Judith Dollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081573289207675098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446608956136617156.post-44482931852799563062013-07-24T06:47:00.001-07:002013-07-24T06:47:37.373-07:00Pink shoes, pointy churches and parting ways.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Downtown Denton is centered around a large country courthouse and is lively with bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and funky old antique shops. Every Saturday morning a group of musicians gather on the courthouse lawn for a little pickin'. My uncle is the one playing the big bass. They play a range of country and bluegrass music.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">One evening we went to eat at Rooster's home of the Hell Burger, a burger doused in ghost pepper sauce. (</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Only the hottest chili in the world, as recognized by Guinness Book of World Records. According to the Scoville scale of pepper pungency, the ghost pepper (aka India’s Bhut Jolokia chili pepper), is 300 times hotter than a jalapeno and 10 times hotter than a habenero). I wanted to survive the weekend so skipped the blazing burger. The mash up of neon and cheezy decorator touches gave me plenty to sketch.</span></span><br />

I went out the the San Jacinto Monument for the reenactment of the Battle of San Jacinto. From the website www.sanjacinto-museum.org "The battle reenactment dramatizes the decisive battle where General Sam Houston led his Texian soldiers to victory over the Mexican Army eventually leading to almost one million square miles of Mexican territory becoming a part of the United States. The reenactors dramatically interpret the Runaway Scrape (Texians fleeing from the advancing forces of Santa Anna), the cannon duel and the final battle between the two forces."</span>Judith Dollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081573289207675098noreply@blogger.com0
