Today's Sketchbook

Today, I met up with another sketcher, for coffee, a chat and a sketch at 26 Cafe in NE Portland. The window also had a spider web made out of a string of lights, but I thought that might be too much for this sketch.
 After looking at Linda's sketches, I was inspired to come home and draw some tiny peppers that I bought quite a while ago. At one stage, I kind of liked this drawing, but I got carried away with the paint and then the crosshatching and I overdid it. I'm still kind of pleased with the fabric, though. I won't be able to try it again, because the peppers had to go into the compost pile. Now I'll have the sketch, too, to remind me not to waste food.

I like your cafe sketch alot!
The peppers don't look overdone and the check fabric is excellent!
Aren't we happy to have sketchy friends to inspire us?

I agree with Linda...(especially excellent on the fabric). Love the brilliance of the colors. And have to add a 'thumbs up' on the orange umbrella!

Thank you, Deb! I always think it you when there's an orange umbrella:)
