Our PA. Trip



I took some time last night to sketch one of the barns and one of the covered bridges we saw while camping last week. The one of the barn had a morning glory growing up the side. I don't know how to draw the flower part (it would have been really really small) so I just did the leaves. The second one is of one of the covered bridges we saw. Most of them were the same type of covered bridge so I just picked one that was the best view. I did cheat a little on the bridge. I made some dots with a ruler so I could get the roof and the bottom straight. I am not the best at straight lines. And my sketches tend to get that leaning tower effect. I am thinking of doing some water colors on both.

My ATC Swap


I did these for a swap I am in. Under The Sea. I did water color the background and watercolored the Mermaids.

New Church


My quilt guild had to move from the small church we have been meeting at since our group has grown so much this past year. We have 60 members now so we needed to find a new place. This church in Westminster has new meeting rooms now that they have this new building. I did this while I was waiting for other members to show up. I was sitting in my car. I just don't know what to do with the roof. At least this is not AS crooked as some of my other sketches. And all those bricks! I would like to see the inside of the church one day. I have heard it is beautiful!

Camping


I did this in my little Moleskine while we were fishing. These are some of the lanterns some of the campers had out.
