The past weekend was so hot – a record-breaking 97 degrees
yesterday – that I didn’t get out to sketch at all! Heat makes me grumpy in
general; you can imagine how crabby I was that it kept me from sketching
outdoors. Thankfully, our heatwave broke overnight, and I woke to a cool stream
of air coming through the bedroom windows – ahhh! Relief!
After a busy morning of appointments, errands and shopping,
I got home and realized I had forgotten the broccoli. This afternoon, it’s a
pleasant 76 and sunny, so I dashed back out for the broccoli from the Green
Lake PCC. My ulterior motive in choosing that food store was that it has a quiet,
shady courtyard where neighborhood workers bring their bag lunches or stop for
coffee. It’s also an ideal place for a 15-minute sketch on a busy day to
celebrate outdoor sketching weather again!
Glad you had a break in the heat to do this nice sketch of the courtyard!
ReplyDeleteHa, our world is indeed, in ill-health. You're dealing with lots of heat; I'm dealing with temps that are barely breaking 70F - in mid-July :-( I had to wear a jacket to go sketching today.
