Even the eight foot Lincoln statue in the South Park blocks has dawned a winter scarf. It's just a matter of time till some big winds come in and strip the fall colors down to bare trunks. A change of season is good or how would we ever appreciate the return of spring green and summer sky blue? And with that, I've had a cold and fever since Monday and feel like crap. I'm getting a little house bound so will plan on meeting the Portland Urban Sketchers today for a couple hours in Hollywood district. Just to prove I have done something this week, here's a sketch book page from the weekend. While you're out today buy a box of tissues and cough drops.
Abe looks rather dashing in his scarf! And your sketch looks good - waiting for some color here and there but it doesn't need it. When I buy the tissues and cough drops, do you want me to mail them to you? I don't need them - I refuse to get a cold. !As long as I keep up with my allergy shots, that and the mental attitude seems to work for me.)
ReplyDeletelast time I tried to paint that Abe statue he came out looking like John McEnroe--hahaha--remember? Well, nice to see that he has been knit-bombed or whatever they are calling that! Only in PDX..I swear. It really doesn't cheer him up much. I love your drawing--it has beautiful contour lines--beautiful shapes! I am not shopping for anything...do you want me to get you a bottle of Purell!??
ReplyDeleteYour photo made me laugh, Carrie! Love the sketch.

Hey Carrie,
ReplyDeleteThought I'd drop by to see what you have been painting! I've never taken the time to tell you how much I admire your sketching ability! It inspires me to do more! Hope all is well, Brenda
Hoping you are feeling better by now, Carrie. Love the sketch and Lincoln LOOKS cold! Hoping your coastal warmer air seeps in soon!

ReplyDeletelove the looseness of your sketching and watercolor and your use of color is terrific.
