Ai, nice job on the roadside airplane! Good thinking for a large machine. Jo, thanks for your comment. Robin, I see you are actively involved in packing up the Christmas decorations. Nice work! The NYC Urban Sketchers met at Industry City in Brooklyn today. It is a 35 acre, mixed-use...

Jo, thanks for hosting back to back!

Ai, love your Snoopy sketches! They made me smile. Thanks for your comment.

Pine Cone, you are persistent. You lines are so neat in the continuous line. I tend to go over some spots more than once. I kept thinking about my turtle ocarina so I dug through the draw where I keep it. He was well hidden so I cleaned out the drawer while I was digging in there. 20 -...

I'm going to use the last of my beach sketches from yesterday showing the fence overlapping the water and the dune. 1 - overlapping - watercolors

Pine Cone, thanks for the info...will check it out. I love how your association went from cupcake to protein shake bottle. lol I hate ellipses too...again, I'm not patient enough when I do them. I know there are ways to do them so they come out nearly perfect, but I like to do things freehand. I...

Thanks for the new list, Robin.

Pine Cone, thanks. I will have to try what you suggested.:) Ai, thanks so much. I usually go to the beach on New Year's Day and it is fun to see all the families and extended families that come out in the cold to do the same thing. Most of the time I take the mile walk to the lighthouse. They...

Jo, thanks. I hate when I do something on Procreate and then lose it before I finish. I really have to learn how to use layers correctly...but I'm too lazy to spend the time learning it before I need it. And then it is too late. Fletch, thanks for your comment and your suggestions. I had looked...

Jo, I spoke to our friend in Itasca and she said it was really hot there today. Glad you got out to do some errands. Fletch, love your Naval insignia! Great job on the details. Sat in my car at the beach to do this. I did it in layers in Procreate and then couldn't get the layers to merge...

Jo, I missed seeing the last set of your sketches. Nice pottery whistles. I have a similar turtle one that I need to find to sketch. Fletch, lots of detail in the pinnacle in a tiny sketch...maybe 3 x 5. Ai and all. Thanks for your comments.

Robin, I hope the inventory doesn't take too long and that you have time for sketching. Fletch, I think most of the writing was done with ink. I had an orange micron with me and a blue fountain pen. Jade, HI! Hope you are doing well. Bob looks content. Jo, sorry your day out was cancelled. My...

Pine Cone, it is good to see you posting and hear that you are feeling a little better. :D Please take care of yourself! I love your sketch of the birds! I like that you did them as silhouettes and shaded them with pencil. I smiled that you turned so you were facing them out the side window. It...

Fletch, I'll happily take the high of 60. Good thinking with the mouthpiece of the recorder. Robin, your almost squashed bow looks like still has some life in it. I stopped for lunch at Shrimpy's Burrito Bar today. I had been there before and thought it would be a fun place to sketch. It was...

Fletch, glad to provide a snowy look on Long Island for you to enjoy from the warmth of Florida. Ai, it sounds like you found a good instructor for Iris to follow. Thanks for your comment about my snow painting. Good luck with the new semester. I hope you still find time to be creative.
