Art by Lynn While Traveling To and From Portland, Oregon

While I was in Portland I did some drawings.

This top one was inspired by a photo I saw on Rosemary's blog here.  You'll see a lot of beauty on her blog. You may have to scroll down a few posts to find the picture she took at a farmers market. I used black ink, my Tom Bow pens and water brush and a black calligraphy pen.

This next one I did at the air port on my way out of town. These guys posed so nicely for me.

 And this group of women got my attention too.

 This gal was sitting right across from me, but I don't think she ever caught on that I was drawing her.

 My son said I did not exactly capture his wife's beauty, and he is right, but I think I got the pose of nursing pretty well. Again I used Tom Bow pens and water brush on this and the ones to follow, plus black ink.

 Nor does this really look like my son, but still a sort of close rendition??? Maybe? Oops, I added an extra finger on the clicker. Well, you know MEN and their remote controls!

 Finally at the airport going home while waiting for my shuttle ride I liked this pot full of colorful leaves...and one woman sitting behind it. I really could not see anymore of her than her head as seen here.

It was such a good trip and visit. I've got tickets to return in December already! I think I'll be going a lot.

I really like painting with these Tom Bow brushes.

No mess no fuss and instant color and blending.

By using a water brush I can squeeze a little water forward and clean it off on a blank page

 before adding the next color!

(So all you pack is a sketch pad, ink pen, Tom Bows, and a water brush!)

How easy is that?!!!!
