“My grandpa had a car like that.” “I learned to drive on
that!” “My high school boyfriend had one of those!”
These are some of the exclamations I overheard while sketching
“a mile and a half of classic rides” at the Greenwood Car Show.
It’s one of my all-time favorite events to sketch, and I try to catch it every year. Last year I had a conflict and couldn’t go, so I was especially
eager to get to it this year. I’ve sketched the show in rain and blistering
heat, but this year the weather was perfect – temperatures in the high 60s and
sunny! To top it off, Saturday’s event was even more fun than usual because USk
Seattle met up for it.

Although the show doesn’t officially open until 8 a.m., I
always arrive in the neighborhood by 7:30 a.m. so that I can find a place to
park. Then I get coffee and a scone at Herkimer’s and warm up with a sketch
of whatever I see from the venue’s handy benches outside. This time it was a gorgeous
turquoise ’67 Mustang.
Five hours later I met the other sketchers in front of the
library, where we all threw down sketches of fantastic vehicles on the street
of nostalgia and dreams.
