At the kids’ table


Last night at our local eatery I turned to see the kids engaged in some animated discussions so I had to sketch them. Lily is seen here drawing the charming little sketch below:

Last night in Joan’s studio workshop


My wife was filling some orders for her jewelry web site, so I was keeping her company and sketching the scene, listening to Kelly Joe Phelps, my new favorite blues slide guitarist.

My mistress


Ok, my wife. But she was having a “crazy hair” day yesterday and wanted to pose for a sketch. After I finished it she said I made her look too young, “Tell people that’s a picture of your mistress.” She’s funny.

Restaurant sketch


I did this while waiting for the take-out to come. As soon as I laid the last wash, the man handed me the bags and off I went. Perfect timing. There’s always the fear lurking that I won’t have time to finish a sketch, with the subject walking off or something or other.
