Sunday Sketches

Well as luck would have it, I was scurrying to do a Sunday Sketch and I was having a time getting started. First off I had the kids for the first half of the week and then the last half I've had a stomach virus while trying to get my porcelain together for Saturday's Craft Show.  It's been kind of a crazy time for me.

What to do? What do do? I followed the girls (my 2 cats) around. They'd lay down in cute poses and they I'd get them 1/2 sketched and they moved. Good grief. I gave up. Then I remembered I have bunches of travel photos I've taken over the years with the intention of doing some sort of art with them.  I was looking at my last cruise which was to Bermuda and I had taken a photo of this clock tower. Now I'm not crazy about painting & drawing buildings because of their stiffness but for some reason the lines always speak to me and I have to photograph them. So I thought what the heck, I'll do an ACEO sketch of it.  Looking at it scanned, I think I need to use a straight edge for some of those lines but I'm pressed for time so here it is.

One of these days I hope to return to Bermuda and shop in the little shops just below this clock tower.

Enjoy the Sunday Sketch and for more awesome art visit http://bluechairdiary.blogspot.com/
