Lund's Auction Sketches

Last night I sat in on an auction at Lund's hoping to find a much needed storage cabinet. I didn't get a cabinet but Did manage to do a few sketches. The place was packed!

I've been participating in the Sunday paint out on the Empress lawn. Here's a scene from last Sunday. It was so windy and cold. The two ladies in big hats are artists. I love the little dog.

A Day at the Beach

I love sketching people at the beach. Well I enjoy sketching people anywhere, but today I went to the beach in search of inspiration. Here's a couple of sketches from today.
The lady with the bluebird enjoys taking her 4 year old parrotlet Grace for walks.  Grace sure seemed to enjoy the attention she was getting from curious people.

Here's some scenes from Open Mic at James Bay Cafe and Books last night. It's one of my favourite outings. It's amazing how talented these people are.

Tired

Here's another sketch from yesterday. These tourists looked so tired.  I just had to capture their expressions. I intentionally left out most of the colour as it makes for a no energy feel to the sketches.

Summer Scenes, Victoria

Tower Point, Moms and Kids


Ducks and Peacocks, Beacon Hill Park

Holland Point Scribbles
When the weather gets warm again everyone loves to get out to get some sun. I love capturing the sense of community in all sorts of creatures.

Sometimes I begin my sketches as scribbles and then look for the right lines and angles to define the figures.
