SketchCrawl 19: Backyard
Saturday was SketchCrawl 19 day. I couldn’t join the San Francisco group this time around, but did manage a quickie Crawl in my backyard before the sun set.
It was unseasonably warm: a real summer day. A giant bee kept following me around and blocking my view of the best flowers. I felt like I had a sketching companion after all! (And he didn’t even sting me…)

Isn’t it satisfying what a simple hour or two in the backyard can yield. What need have we for so much other stuff and experience when we can enjoy this?

I love them too and did my solo sketchcrawl even though I didn’t realize it was a Sketchcrawl day!!! I met some facinating people that day. Isn’t art magical?
