"13th AnnualTumbleweed Music Festival"

A windy, rainy day in Howard Amon park at the Tumbleweed Music Festival.  While this group, "Sea Star," played I dodged the rain beneath on old maple tree in the back. Too bad about the weather, I remember last year the park was crawling with people and multiple venues.  The venues were up and ready, but the crowd was sparse and easily shaken with only a few sprinkles.  "Sea Star" was worth the trip over to do the sketching.  Good stuff!!

"Between the Buns" - Street Vendor

My favorite cache for my photos and art is at flickr.com. This week, at the "urban sketchers" group, the theme is "street vendors." So I drove downtown yesterday to this hot dog stand, "Between the Buns," and did a very rough, and hopefully appropriately 'loose' sketch of the place.

She is running a "land office" business as there was a steady stream of customers: even in 100 degree temperatures. I bought a polish from her and it was pretty good. Maybe not as good as those at Costco, and certainly priced just a touch higher; but good anyway. You can find the sketch at the "urban sketchers" theme site here.

EDM #21: Draw Something Vintage

I'm not sure where this interest in drawing cars has come from. I sketched out my old high school car a couple of years ago, and an old Ford car in the parking lot at the college; but these recent drawings are coming from somewhere else in my head in terms of interest. Makes me wonder what's next.

EDM Challenge 100: Landscape

This landscape was sketched a couple years ago when we lived on the west side of the state. I had a sketch buddy there and we frequently went about the area drawing and painting in our finest plein aire fashion.

This barn sat off the main road on the way into town and, more than likely, is much closer to the ground by now.
