Early September, overcast sky, quiet surroundings—a great morning for sketching in the company of artist friends! I am blessed to be out there in the company of Robert Andersen, Jerrold Belland, and Doug DeVinny; the four of us in lawn chairs and having art supplies at hand. And it’s a bonus when I can return home with something to show for my efforts! (Shown here is a sketch completed in fluid acrylics on toned paper.)
