Zentangle Botanical Illustrations, 81/2 x 11, Pen on paper

I just bought a new sketchbook and pen set. I thought I would try a Zentangle type drawing. Here's what I've come up with so far. They are done totally from my imagination. Normally I only paint from what I can see so this was new to me. I'm quite pleased with the results.

Bastion Square Sketches

A couple of sketches I did at Bastion Square. 

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 at Bastion Square the past few weeks. Here are a few sketches I've done there.

Willows Beach

I spent the day sketching at Willows Beach. Here's one of my sketches.

Pride Parade 2015

This is my sketchbook opened flat with two different sketches. The left side is my sketch from Canada Day and the right side is my sketch from the Pride Parade. But the two sketches flow together like one scene.  Just about every week there is some festival or other all summer in Victoria. (The woman on the right in the black skirt is Victoria artist Carollyne Yardley (also known as the Squirrel Artist).

Canada Day Sketch

Canada Day

Yesterday was Canada Day. I did this quick sketch of people on the lawn of the legislature.

I added some watercolour later when I got home.

The fireworks were great!
