Symphony at Pavilion

Poperazzi - a nice evening of Italian classical and pop. And to eat: an Italian sub for me and meatball for D and pizza sub for S. Ciao!

Bryan TX 4.9.11

A quick trip to Bryan/College Station on Friday for a concert. The next day I stayed in downtown Bryan to sketch while D & S went to the Bush (Sr) Presidential Library. I am so used to all the trees at home the lack of them in the area felt like it was missing something. Just not used to the "prairie".

Blue face

I can't remember where I was when I sketched this. Just a page in the journal. Playing with my blue pen.

Discovery Shuttle Launch sketch

To see the shuttle launch, you get in place and then wait, wait, wait. While we waited the dolphins put on a show for us, and the flamingos? big pink birds took flight from the island too. I took along my sketch book and crochet hook. Here is one of my sketches colored in with Photoshop.

The launch was a tremendous spectacle. Thanks to my sis R for inviting me along.

sketch crawl #24

These bolts hold the globes in place.

My first time to participate in World Wide Sketch Crawl. Went out to the warehouse where the CoolGlobe.org globes are being stored until the opening and met up with 2 other sketchers. While Liz worked on her globe, Chris and I sketched. I had a hard time getting in the swing of it but made an effort. After leaving there I went by Texas Art Supply and picked up some new Coptic drawing pens and some paper to bind my own sketch book. Then off to a late lunch at the Empire Cafe and sketched a little there from the counter. A rare art filled day. it was good.

These are all ballpoint pen or the new Coptic markers. The sepia tone is done in Photoshop.

hand drawn

Yup, thats my hand. For lack of something better in front of me.
