Took some time off to go see what Florida looks like. Drove from Savannah down to the A1A, then followed that to just north of Miami. Finally ran out of road in Key West, so I drew a picture outside the naval station and come home.
Monday Morning at Tybee Island
I took this beautiful fall day to go out to Tybee Island and draw a picture of the lighthouse.
Pink Spanish Moss sketch
Blue Sky, Savanna River, Wilmington Island
This painting was initially a sketch I did while canoeing around Wilmington Island. The coloring was done later once I got home.
Pine Trees from My Porch
I just moved back to the USA to begin teaching. The Coronavirus is taking its toll and we are all in self quarantine. For me, it’s been about a month of sitting inside and teaching class online. I took a break from class to drink coffee and draw the trees outside from my balcony.
St. Thomas Church, Leipzig Germany
Today was windy, but not too cold. Either way, the St. Thomas Church was open and mainly empty. Bach practiced the organ here and the church does frequent recitals. I recommend visiting if you are ever in Leipzig.
Back to St. Nicholas Church
It has been below freezing today so I looked for a place inside to draw. I found St. Nicholas’ Church was open. I drew this picture on my Samsung Note. It’s a small drawing surface, but for making quick sketches it works great.
Christmas at Nikolai Kirche, Leipzig
It’s a few weeks after Christmas, but Nikolai Kirche still has a nativity and tree up. I spent about 45 minutes sitting and sketching on my Surface Pro. I don’t get to go drawing much and I wanted to practice on a tablet.
St. Michael’s pulpit
Jet lag is fading. Fixed a nice breakfast of fresh bread and ham with coffee. Wandered over to St. Michael’s Cathedral and drew the pulpit. There were maybe 2 other people around. It was quiet.
A Day in Antwerp
Being so jetlagged yesterday I didn’t see the second football match between Uruguay and Portugal. I made it about 6 minutes into the match and was out cold.
Good news was I was awake really early and decided to catch a train to Antwerp. Glad I got there early. What a beautiful city and I had the streets to myself. I wandered around for about 4 hours in a cool breezy morning drinking coffee and eating pastries.
Now it’s 2pm and I’m going back to Brussels to see the Comics Museum. It’s housed in a gorgeous art deco warehouse. I can’t read the French comics, but I love to sit in the lobby and stare at the ironwork.
