Sketched from the back of my car..
Intermittent rain had people coming and going..
Every time someone new came along...
I added the blessed soul to my scene...
Now my sketch looks like a bustling patio on a sunny, summery day ... 😂

Hope you are having a glorious day with the glorious sunshine, dear friends 🥰 ☀️ 🌸 Hope the not-so-glorious smoke dissipates soon... 😅 🌸 ☀️ 🇺🇦 🌻

Hope my car didn't raise any suspicions as I drove around the neighbourhood to find something to sketch at lunch break..😅
Finally found a parking spot with an interesting view of a house...
The owner came home half way through my sketch..probably for lunch too..
Now my sketch looks happily "lived-in"..😄
Hope your day has been going well, dear friends. There is always a brand-new tomorrow! 🥰 ☀️ 🌸 🇺🇦 🌻

Passed by this on the way between 2 classes ..
Mermaid, emerald green and fella in yellow out in front..
All attracted me to sketch this over a couple of lunch breaks.. 😁
Hope you are enjoying a sunny day instead of the former rainy forecast, dear friends! 🥰 ☀️ 🌸

Sketching a Mexican restaurant.....

Had 20 mins before Beauty of Bees Show started..
Made a quick sketch of the Border MX Restaurant across the street...
What caught my eye:
The cool mural on the dark front facade and soft salmony pink trim and side wall...
The contrast between dark and light..
Between "aggressive" and calm...
Wow! The menu looks awesome..will have to return to sample!
Hope you're having a beautifully, calm day, dear friends! 🥰 ☀️ 🐝 🇺🇦 🌻
