New (Food) Frontier

I found a 2-day book binding class offered at Print League KC this past weekend. Had to drive in from Topeka to check it out. Also found out about a new donut shop called Donutology, in the Westport area. Before class I stopped by for a pastry and coffee. No time to sketch, so I had to come back after class to sketch. The second day Wilma came along and I had to stop by again before class to show her, and eat more pastry. It's a tough life. They do a great job there.

Fountain pen, watercolor pencil and waterbrush.

Saturday Night in Westport...

We checked out the Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill...dinner with Batman feels so safe, somehow...

Then off to English Country Dancing, which Joseph loves...he danced, I sketched.  FAST.

And of course I added the color and bits of the program after I got home...

Sketching Kansas City

Our May Sketchcrawl was on the grounds of the historic Elms Hotel in Excelsior Springs

The ladies in pink are bridesmaids, wrapped in towels by the pool!

As usual, I spend my time in the parking lot sketching while Joseph shops!

Nice lunch...

I'm not a shopper, so I always enjoy the chance to sketch, especially when I can find a great spot like the one in the Half Price bookstore in Kansas City.  Not only a chair to ssit in, but a table to use...

This was my bent-nib Hero pen, which makes wonderfully varied lines.
