And Then There was Family Time

My son Dan, DIL Jackie, and grand daughter Kaeli picked me up at the airport in Portland...We went out for Thai food the second night I was there, I loved the colored walls and all the art on them. It was sweet spending each evening after classes with them. On Sunday my grand daughter took me to the airport. I enjoyed talking to her about college... Once there I learned that my flight was going to be late! So I spent the extra time drawing in my sketchbook
It was nice of all those others waiting for their flights
to pose for me...
The man reading the newspaper was particularly good looking...

It was fun for me to fly off on my own like this,
I took a shuttle service from the airport to my house.
Easy Peasy.
I think I'll do it again next year!
I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best at the art retreat
and being able to have this time with my family
that lives far away!

  1. I've had so much fun reading about your adventure--if I lived on that side of the country, I'd for sure go along with you. Love those people sketches :)

  2. The best of both worlds, right? It's been fun reliving this with you, too. And those sketches are wonderful. Makes me want to learn to draw (GRIN).

  3. I knew that the first photo had to be your son with you. He resembles you so much. What fun being able to work in a visit with a workshop. Lucky you. Your waiting room portraits are great. I like your style of capturing likenesses.
