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...

Pirates at The Drawing Club!

Sara as "The Clockwork Pirate Girl"...

The Drawing Club

...and John Tucker creates a 

wonderful pirate character 

in his elegantly tattered coat...Captain Grungy!

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!  

Back at The Drawing Club

...and Daniella is back as a slinky 1960's Spy...a bit like "Agent 99"...
