| I sat at the bottom of the steps out in back of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and sketched the west end of the facade... |
 |
| I took this photo after I finished...you can see I just did that far end! |
Frustratingly enough, my *ahem!* Ahab pen went on strike, in the warm sun, and dropped a big blog in my sky area at left. So when I got home, I decided the evergreens would work well if they were ALL a field of spatter! I protected the building with one of the post cards I'd picked up, and spattered away.
Actually, I was pretty frustrated with my pen...several people had stopped by to watch me work, and I mentioned that to one young couple. The girl insisted I take her pen, so I finished with my NEW art supply! Bless her!

| We were there to see the Decorative Arts from the World's Fairs, 1851-1939 exhibit. It was a bit overwhelming! But I loved the Art Nouveau section...there wasn't room for that huge glass vase at bottom...it was 3 feet or more tall, so I turned my book and drew it on the side. |

| This was the first sketch of the day--I kind of posted these backwards! It's right at the entrance from the parking garage...light and surfaces and sculpture and visitors all at once! |
 |
| Here's Jeanette and Cindy heading for the World's Fair show, about halfway down the hall...I couldn't resist shooting the picture before chasing after them! |
