A trip to Boston with Donny

Sketched from life using ink and watercolor.

Have been lazy about posting my sketches but hopefully will be better at it now.  I went to a sketchcrawl in Rochester recently.  These are some of the sketches.

Wagner's Friday Night 7/5/13

I met a new friend ,Aidan, while I was out listening to a band at Wagner's Winery in Lodi, NY (and sketching instead of  dancing).  He allowed me to sketch him in watercolor and then I asked him to sketch something in my sketchbook.  Aidan is 10 years old and I think what  he drew for me was a perfect subject  for the place and time.  I am posting both of our sketches.  I know everyone who sees his sketch will appreciate his hard work and his skill in drawing.

Wine in pencil by Aidan

We met outside on the deck where  we sketched, in very low lighting,  listened to the band ,and watched  fireworks across the lake.  Enjoyed a wonderful evening and was glad to meet another art-person like me.

Lexa and guests at Adah's wedding shower

This is a sketch done directly in ink while I was at a wedding shower in Waterloo, NY.  "Stealth sketching" with my sketchbook on my lap under the table.  

The William's Little Sweetie

Done in watercolor from a photo texted to me.
The colors on the computer monitor don't quite look as subtle as they do in the original and I
believe her family will be pleased.  Merry Christmas.

My husband sketched from life in the hospital.  Not one of his better days, but fortunately he is much healthier now.  I put closeup pattern of his gown in circle, as well as the tree image that I saw outside of his window.
