a shrimping we will go


Not sure I am technically a member of Usk Midwest since moving from Kansas to central Texas. But I miss this group . . . This sketch is from our recent trip to the Gulf of Mexico.

Just across the lane from Our Place on the Bay, the Bed & Breakfast we were staying at, a shrimp boat was waiting for its next trip out. So I sat nearby and drew her. Early each morning the crew takes her out, then returns to load up their trucks with the day's catch.

  1. I figure Texas is Midwest every bit as much as Illinois/Chicago, yep! It's great to see your posts, Vicky, and you're very much missed.

    1. I know I do feel more at home here than the Usk Texas group. Miss all of you!

    1. I had never seen a working shrimp boat before --- it was interesting trying to figure how everything was used.
