A Day at the Beach

A half buried shovel, a pair of flip flops belonging to the famous John Baccaro, and a Brigantine life guard boat. Results of a sunny day sketching at the New Jersey shore.

I Remember That.

This drawing was done at a high school graduation party I attended earlier this summer.  I was the creepy adult sitting quietly and drawing the teenagers’ table. It’s OK though, because only other uncool grown ups like myself even noticed.

Once a Year

Last week, I was invited to the Romano/Pinto annual beach house karaoke night. These are the resulting gesture drawings. The most complete drawing is of the back of a seven year old girl wearing a pair of shorts. She is transfixed and singing “Hey Jude”.  Those “na na”s sure do go on for a while.

Sketchbook Weekend

Sometimes sketchbook Saturday happens on Sunday. Both of these drawings were made in a parking lot while waiting to meet up with friends for dinner. Different parking lots, different friends, different restaurants.

Yesterday, I recieved two new sketchbooks from my awesome supplier.  Can’t wait to fill them.
