[AiArts]

Today I took a couple hours off to slow down my thought at MoreCoffee- Cafe on Chaophraya river bank...I took a ferry there.

#6 brick -- wall of the cafe
#7 wood -- bookshelf
#8 I collect books...
#9 no longer use ...old coin operated phone
#10 ceramic -- Japanese cat doll
#11 plastic -- a rubric

#12 vessel ...I jotted down this one quickly while I was waiting inside my ferry before departing

Ai, I love your cafe sketches especially the big red phone and the ceramic cat. Your cafes always have such interesting things inside them. Nice capture of the vessel docked by the ferry. You had a productive day!

 

[AiArts]

Thank you su much, Joan, Fletch and Jo.

Joan: Thanks...very beautiful Easter egg and glowing Hershey's kiss chocolate. Nice line in the fork.

Sorry for the passing of the late Pope after Easter.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Joan, love the decorated egg and the candy kiss. The fork has great lines.

Ai, look at you go. The phone is such a good find. Rubic's are fun. The vessel has many sails, wow. Awwww, thanks for the family photo. Beautiful...... Hugs all around.

Jo: Thanks so much...love your cute set of flute sketches...

Sketched at my footstool in the Conda Sketchpad with the Micron 03.
Number 3 something no longer used much - a cookbook. I rarely open any cookbooks anymore. Rely on memories and the internet. I don't think I ever used this one. Recipes from all the states by the Soldier's Angels.

 

[Joan T]

Ai, thank you. I didn't expect the sketch from inside the cafe would be that small. Nice to see all of you together.

Ai, yes, it was sad to lose the Pope. He was so compassionate and concerned about other people. I think he was one of the best popes I can remember. He did a lot of good things.

Jo, I like that interesting cookbook. I would be checking out the recipes for my favorite states. lol Nice sketch of it.

Last night our sketch group had a model in costume. I am counting her for my...
5 - people - Some are 2 minute poses in pencil and then I added a few more materials.

Today it was so nice that I went to the beach instead of organizing.
6 - landscape - watercolors



This was at the Riverhead train station yesterday. They have a few old cars on the tracks there.
7 - vehicle - watercolors and ink
8 - light pole

Joan: Voila !!! Super sweet sketches of the model. I love the one holding umbrella and flowers.... all costumes are marvelous. Happy beautiful beach scene... and my fav. red train under the bright sun.... Choo Choo !!

 

[Joan T]

Ai, thanks so much. Sketching the model was nice for a change.

Joan- Neat pysanky egg. When we lived in RI Sharon had a friend who painted them as a hobby. We must have at least a half dozen of them but not sure where they are buried “for protection”. We also have a few pieces of Christmas and Valentines candy still around. Curious. Is that a dessert fork? Great model sketched! Love the dunes. Fun painting of the old train car.k

Ai- You get the neatest finds at you cafes. That’s a lot of yardarms girls what appears to be a two masted ship. The family photo is a much bonus.

Jo - nice work on ythe cookbook. I hate drawing text. You do it well.

Ned, Robin, and all others peeking in
