Let's hear a cheer for friends.

If you look closely at the right side of the second photo, you will see the statue sketched here - though I drew it from the other side...

Today I am thankful for friends and the way they keep me sane when all else seems to be falling apart; for friends who remind me I have something to give; for friends who surprise me with the unexpected.

One of the better visual examples of an unexpected surprise are the following photos my friend, Stephanie, took during our visit to the Legion of Honor last June. 

The photos are shown here....

Good Grief

Went with my kids to the Charles Schulz Museum last weekend. We spent the most time in the "education" room, drawing pictures and watching an endless loop of Peanuts t.v. specials. Fun! I hope to channel some of that calm fun tomorrow night during my live drawing demo at Nightlife. I'll be on display from 7-9pm. Come by and say hello!

Went with a whole crowd of artists to see the Cult of Beauty Show at the Legion of Honor. Pretty things to see at every turn, and enough peacock feathers to cause a mild case of insanity. They are open to sketching at the Legion so I took advantage, trying out different media, and remembering to practice drawing people. Images follow.....
