    We didn’t meet in person on Tuesday because of the January 6 Hearings being held in our time slot (how rude!). The assignment was to watch the hearing on TV and draw the faces. As nothing in this group is obligatory, a variety of images were created for the Friday Zoom session. Danita is beginning to share her work from their trip to the Southwest. Rita and Bitty, though they didn’t show up for Zoom have been sharing their travel sketches on the TD Roundtable on FaceBook.

    Top Drawers Moving Into Summer

    The hometown crew of the Top Drawers met at the Owen Rose Garden on Tuesday morning. BarbSo, Daisy, Marsha, Tricia, Katie and Eva.

    Barbs So showed her work at our weekly Zoom.

    Bev’s pages are always full of interest.

    Bitty is back from Alaska. Her observations are so elemental.

    Daisy drew everyday on her trip to Virginia.

    Laura added a lot of drawings on her trip to Kansas.

    Marsha was taken with her neighbor’s Poppies.

    Danita is posting about her travels in the Southwest when she can get WIFI. This is Mesa Verde.

    At La Romita in Italy, Ken is keeping the sketchers busy. Ken. Lynda. Barb.

    Jane, Hugh and Sandy are keeping us up to date with travel pictures on Facebook. We’re looking forward to seeing their sketchbooks as well.
