Vero Coffee Shop, Eugene, Oregon

There were only five of us able to gather to sketch together today, but were were a lively bunch anyway!  Some started out with unresolved tasks, while the others found new challenges.

     

Barbara Shirk was busy selecting her three images to submit to the Watershed Gallery sketchbook show slated for December, and Heidi was committed to putting her shell in a watery sandy background.

    

Jane was tickled with the tiny Thanksgiving centerpiece she brought for inspiration – love that turkey’s attitude.

    

Tricia and Sandy started sketching the same tree out the window from slightly different viewpoints.

    

Then they start adding some color and definition…

    

Ta dah! Tricia adds her usual whimsical commentary, and Sandy is delighted with those mossy limbs with contrasting leaves.

    

Meanwhile, Barbara and Heidi began sketching Heidi’s gourds.

    

Here’s how far Barbara’s sketch developed, and here’s Jane’s finished Thanksgiving centerpiece.  We were busy, indeed!
