Drawing at the Scottish Festival and Highland Games

...in Costa Mesa, kicks off the summer and is a fun and colorful place to sketch!

I love seeing these guys who dust off their tartans
every year to wear them proudly...


A fife and drum band...

...and the athletes, male and female, tossing cabers (that look like telephone poles) 
and hurling other heavy objects...


...and a 21-caber salute
in honor of Memorial Day...

People on the Pier...

Not long ago I had the great pleasure 
of meeting my fellow "Urban Sketchers" 
Melanie Reim of New York, Don Low 
and his wife Kat of Singapore, and 
Shiho Nakaza of Santa Monica for a 
wonderful time at the Santa Monica Pier...sketching!

At the Drawing Club...


                                                                                    Vikki was startling as Lucille Ball, in 
                   classic scenes from "I Love Lucy"...





























...and couldn't be more different as a somber
Pre-Raphaelite...
