Anniversary Brunch on Sunday

On Sunday we went out for brunch at the Cast Iron Grill in Suisun, City.
Just the two of us,
but across the room was this table of eleven
so I drew them.

What do you think of them in living color?
Did this after we got home.



Service and food were great, and then when it came time to pay the computer went down so we waited.

 Husband rested. I whipped out my pen and art journal...


and again painted after I got home. A lovely sunny day...eating and walking near the water...a stop in at the local art gallery there...and then  home again. Nice day, special day. Grateful for these 27 + 7 years with this guy! He's pretty special too.

    Its interesting how different a drawing can be in color.. Seems like two different Art pieces. Love them both. You did a great job on Your Hubbys portrait.. caught his personality perfectly.

    Happy Anniversary! Love the sketches. Yes, I do believe I like the ones in color better. I can just see your husband in that sketch.

    Lynn, these are amazing--YOU are amazing! I can't believe what a difference the color makes, especially on the first drawing. Love that title, by the way! And happy anniversary to you and your husband!

    Richard and I celebrated twenty-five years at Christmas--

      MX you flatter me! So thank you. But I encourage you to find your own style. It's there! Someone told me that and it helped me be okay with me drawing/painting as I did/do. Again, thanks!!! You made my day!
