You
know the rule about not wearing white after Labor Day? In Seattle, I think the
rule should be that we don’t sweat after Labor Day. I know I’ll probably be
struck down by lightning for saying this, especially since I’ve been whining about the imminence of fall for more than a month, but I’m saying it anyway:
It’s 93 degrees today, and that’s too dang hot for September!
I
had a little time before my yoga class, so I was going to sit at a nearby
outdoor coffee shop table to sketch. But when I walked into the lovely air-conditioned
café to get my beverage, I couldn’t get myself back out the door. Instead, I
was delighted to find a comfy couch right next to a large window looking out at
the very tables that I might have been sweating at. I was hoping some people
more heat-hearty than I am would sit down out there so I could sketch them, but
I guess everyone else was just as wimpy.
No
matter. Comfortable in the AC’d room, sipping my iced Americano, sketching a
sunny view dappled by tree shade – I’m good with that.

Nice sketches. Did you do both from inside in the AC? I like the way the green contrasts with the rest of the grey tones in the first one. We had really hot temps yesterday too. I went to the beach (something I will continue to do until I have to sit there in a coat and hat. lol) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI like the first sketch in particular. The shading and feeling of light is so good.
ReplyDeleteThat 93 degrees set a record for the date!
As I said, I spent the day in AC learning about the new Nexus 7.
