Easing Very, Very Slowly into Spring

Sketching before seeing Wicked

Although spring is arriving in a sluggish fashion, it has been nice enough to get out here an there. Here are a couple outings.The church next to Washington Park has the wrong date. My desire to move things along was expressed by writing a 4 instead of a 3 on the date. It felt like April that day.

March 14th, not so much... It was WINDY with less sun than I would like when it is in the 50s.

More Sketching Around: Xavier University and Clifton

Here are a couple sketches on location with my friend Vanessa. When we started setting up, we both loved the little castle turrets on one of the buildings. Neither of us got them in out sketches though.

I was so irritated about that when I got home that I taped a piece to the top of the sketch and added the part that I wanted.

A week later, we drew in Clifton close to Mt.Storm Park. We loved this house beacuse it reminded us of an Edward Gorey illustration:

Very Edward Gorey. You can almost see a man wearing a big fur coat walking out
