Inside and Outside

This month, the weather in Portland has ranged from sunny and hot to rainy and cold. Being a fair-weather sketcher, I try to get out when the sun is out and settle for still lifes and poses when it's not. Here are some sketches of both.

Garden Party

On one of our few lovely spring days, fellow sketcher,  Heather,  had some of us to her garden for breakfast, garden viewing and sketching. Here are some records of the marvelous morning.

The breakfast!

The potted head (which in reality did not look as Easter Island as this), the stone bench, and the pond with  a lily, of course.

Some items from the potting table.

There was so much more to draw, but not enough time.  Is there ever enough time to draw a beautiful garden on a sunny day?
