Sundays at The Drawing Club...




Monthly Sunday sessions at 
are a chance to draw or paint at a more leisurely pace...and play with different media.  Often the themes are inspired by favorite artists...



At a recent session
Marissa Gomez channels
Frida Kahlo...
 Peggy Moore in an "Old Hollywood" theme...




Sara Streeter is a Degas Ballerina in soul and body...





 David Moon in a Lucien Freud-inspired theme...




Sketching around town...

Labor Day and Labor Day picnics 
mark the end of summer...
a picnic group at Griffith Park...

An afternoon at the Getty Center in early fall at the fountain...

Lunch at Gordon Biersch 
in Burbank, a view into the bar...


An October visit to Ventura for the Seaside Highland Games...always fun to watch the big guys in kilts throwing heavy objects!




In November, I caught up with the Space Shuttle Endeavor at the California Science Center...so inspiring to finally see it in all its weathered glory!



 Sketching on a Sunday afternoon in
La Canada....



...and an evening spent at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store in Glendale...fun for the whole family!

Back at The Drawing Club

Recently at The Drawing Club, we said goodbye at least temporarily to another favorite model and actress, Karole Foreman...she'll certainly be missed!  She recreates "Foxy Cleopatra" for us, from the Austin Powers movie...

Summer People

People out and about...

Shopping and eating...


Among the sculpture at the Getty Center...

...and viewing the new Michael Heizer "Levitated Mass" installation at LACMA...


 

Across from LACMA...picnicking in front of "The Wall Project"...segments of the Berlin Wall with several repainted by artists Kent Twitchell, Thierry Noir, Farrah Karapetian and Marie Astrid Gonzalez (this is a pretty loose interpretation...)

Strolling around the La Brea Tar Pits...



Patio dining, visiting Barnsdall Park and filling up the big cup of coke on a very hot day...

Ten Years...

Recently The Drawing Club celebrated ten years!  Thanks so much to Bob Kato and his great assistants  for always making it a first class experience--a special place for so many of us!  Models Steve Jacobsen, Daniella Traub and John Tucker came dressed in style for the party...




 Cheers!

The Boxer returns for one last round...

Quantae Love returns one last time 
in this classic theme...
a powerful presence, great model and muse, 
and a great person...he'll be missed!
