Since I didn’t remember it until a few days ago, people had short
notice of the 42nd World Wide SketchCrawl that I initiated for this morning. I thought it might be a lonely solo gathering at Couth Buzzard Books in
the Greenwood neighborhood, so I was happy to see Blanche and Elsa show up. (The
delicious mocha didn’t hurt, either.) Even though the folk musician who was scheduled
to perform called in sick, we entertained ourselves sketching the shelves of
used books and the sunny window view of Greenwood Avenue North. (Besides, how can a bookstore called Couth Buzzard not be entertaining?)
First I sketched Elsa, who had made herself comfortable in
the plush velvet-covered chair in the colorful children’s section. Then I moved
over to a window table with Blanche to sketch a tree housing a long-abandoned
nest across the street.

A group selfie commemorated our participation in the
worldwide event. I hope you were able to get out for the World Wide
SketchCrawl, too!

Fun sketches!! Glad you didn't forget about the sketch crawl. I did it but I don't have the energy to post the sketches or photos tonight...hopefully tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there existed such a thing —world wide sketch crawl— who would've thought! Next year in Seattle, or elsewhere. Wait a minute, would a sketch created without knowing about the event count Tina?

DeleteSmall or large, sketchcrawls are just the best. Glad you had fun.
