We had intended to meet up at Case Park in Kansas City, but the rain defeated us...it's been a REALLY rainy spring in our corner of the Midwest. So we met at the Nelson-Atkins, one of our favorite places, and enjoyed the quiet...and dry!

This young man was there sketching the whole time I drew the chimera... |

I've always meant to sketch the chimera at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of art...these are Derwent Blue Grey, the one on the right wet with clear water, the other left as it was.

And one from our "virtual sketchcrawl!" |
I forgot I hadn't posted these...siiiigh...I've been swamped with other stuff!
Chimera in blue-grey are my favorite. Goes to show the range and elegance in the category of monochrome drawings.
