Below done at the Sacramento Airport waiting to fly to Portland, Oregon later that day.
In Portland we spent 4 and a half days with my son, daughter in law and our 3 grand kids there. The youngest, 14 month old Allie Bel has a ton of stuffed animals and while I was waiting for her to wake from her nap I drew them. She can ASL sign each one! (monkey, bear, dog, cat, rabbit, fish, mouse, cow, and buffalo!) And we were delighted to watch her listen to music and hear our voices since having her cochlear implant tuned on!
Back home again I drew this at Taco Jalisco's and painted it later at home. It was a fun day there too.
"The Couple" was there and it was the first time they asked if they could see my drawings. I shared my Travel Art Journal with them. They loved it. And Carlos was there too. He shared with me that he had used my art style in an acting scene at his acting class the previous week!
This week marked ONE YEAR since I started drawing at J's.
The next day I went downtown and drew at the Italian Deli where I had a nice hot bowl of Broccoli Cheddar soup!
I am linking these drawings today with Sunday Sketchers. You can see what the other artists are doing there via the icon on my side bar.
My Paint Party Friday art is one post down from this one!
Fascinating sketches and paintings...clever!

Thanks so much for your comment in my photo blog! :) the photos are taken in the middle of Norway :) It was an old fishermen's place out in the ocean.. :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, I love the chair with the toys. Very right for the Mandarin Orange Monday entry. Please go back and check your link. I couldn't leave a comment from that link. I just happened to know your art from PPF.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteThese sketches are wonderful. I love the stuffed animals. So exciting that Allie got the cochlear implant and she is doing so well with it.
I love looking at other peoples art. All so different. I wish I could find my style. I am just not in any particular nitch and until I can find where I belong I cant really get into selling stuff that I do............its frustrating in that aspect but I do so love to see how many different ideas are out there
