Catching Up and Sketching On

Full City Coffee, Eugene, OR

allWhat did we do before the days of technology! We’d planned to meet at a new coffee-tea shop, but turns out it doesn’t open until 11:00! Since we meet at 9:30, we texted folks & went over to Full City – here’s Barb A, Hugh, Tricia, Barb Sh, and Penelope.

barbsh-1         barbsh-2Barb Sh caught us up on her extension tour after LaRomita with Ken, showing quick sketches done while the tour guide droned on.

p-2       p-3Here are some examples of the sketchbook Penelope put together. The rings allow her to add half pages. And look at the tiny vignettes!

tricia-1    tricia-2    tricia-3Tricia had sketches from the recent mushroom festival, and referring to her photos, filled in the rest of the page. Yummy!
