Sunday Drawing with Furball

I didn't do anything today, not a thing, except go to drawing.

So I guess that's something.

20 minutes

charcoal

1 hour

graphite

Furball and Isis were in the window.  Furball thought drawing was more interesting than whatever was happening outside.

St Pat's Week 9

I was really debating whether or not to go to St Pat's today.

Just couldn't get myself moving, even though I did get ready to go out.

Then my friend texted me to see what I was doing.

Then a lady I met while out painting a few months ago messaged me over Instagram saying she was going to sketch at St Pat's...... that was the boost I needed, and the timing was pretty great, so out toe door I went.

I had a really nice time talking to Catherine. She actually stayed and sketched with me the entire 4 1/2 hours!! 

We learned about St Monica, who is the patron saint of disappointing children.

Here is the painting I did, 9x12 pastel on Mi Tientes.

Hudson

This week is spring break, and I thought it might be nice to get away for an overnight.
Daya likes thrift shops, and Hudson has that, so we went.

The weather was not good, it rained Thursday and was very cold on Friday.
I did not bring any paint!

Hudson is cool, but it isn't the same without Drusilla.
Daya doesn't like my company, so there wasn't a lot of good conversation.
Also we had a fight.
I don't think I want to travel with Daya again for a while, not until she is ready to be friendly to me in general.

We went to the old cemetery, which is pretty fantastic.
I like the civil war veteran section.

A Hudson kind of thing to find around the cemetery:

Sadie was absent for her show.

Flower Kraut is still there.

So is Vasilow's but we didn't go.

Alpaca shop.

Park Bench at Second Show.

Daya got some shirts and I got a pair of cool earrings.

Hotel Room at The Wick, it was nice.

Bathtub not great but passable.

Le Garmin breakfast, I broke my no starch rule with their eggs benedict with potatoes.

We went to Antique Warehouse, which Daya loved.

She got a few shirts which she is very, very happy with.

I found an iPhone from the 1800s.

And also this old iPad.

Old easel.

Cat and mouse game.

Carousel horse.

Another one.

I like this painting, but mostly the paintings there were utter crap, rubbish, or both.

Taxidermy peacock.

Daya was upset to find something she recognized from her childhood in an antique market-

an ipod mini:

I bought this awesome tea towel at Tradewinds.

I also got quite a lot of tea at Verdigris.
