New Moleskine Japanese Fold sketchbook :)

Having lots of fun with my new Moleskine sketchbook.  When it came in the mail and sat in front of me all crisp and new I was daunted by the clean newness of it.  After looking at it for a couple of hours I couldn’t resist picking up my micron .03 and beginning ^. .^

First SketchCrawl Sept.19, 2009

We were a small but mighty group =)  Janet with her two girls, Linda with her daughter and Bobbie all showed up to draw on a perfectly beautiful day.  I will be posting more of their work as it comes in.  I have been “drawn” to red umbrellas lately, hmmmmmm, not sure why buy I am enjoying them =)

Janet and her daughter with a wonderful drawing of one of the homes in Katonah.

More from the group soon =)

Back from Cape Cod

We just returned from Cape Cod.  All the watercolors are from the cottage where we stayed.  The pen and inks are from the National Seashore,

the cottage and some of our favorite places.  I am always inspired by the sea and skies of the cape….the colors and light

waiting for connection to Canada 2006?

Passing the time…waiting for the plane.

Love airports for sketching….nobody notices you =)

Walking Smudge in North Salem

Today was a beautiful summer day.  Smudge and I took a ride to a favorite walking place in N. Salem.  I had packed a small backpack with some watercolors, water for painting and for drinking, a mat for sitting on and the hope of finding some time to draw if Smudge would allow  The sun was bright and hot but the shade was cool and breezy…..a very nice day.  Here are some photos of our day and of a few quick watercolors =)

it was a good day
