Holiday Sketching

Mary McJunkin
Even though we're not doing a sketchout for December, Urban Sketchers Houston has been hard at work out sketching for the holidays. First, we have Mary's pretty poinsettia sketch.

Renate's sketch
Renata found some festive decorations right in her neighborhood.
Joel's sketch
Joel was eating at Red River BBQ and decided to capture the scene. " Does that tiny tree in the back make it a Christmas sketch?" he asked. Sure, we're in Texas after all.
Peter's sketch
Peter went downtown to see the Danzantes do traditional Aztec dances for the Procession of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Hispanic Houston has all kinds of celebrations for this pre-Christmas occasion.
Chris's sketch
I also went downtown. I was hoping to find fabulous holiday decorations in the old, and equally fabulous Ideson building. No luck. So I went over to Allen Center and sat it the warm lobby to sketch their pretty tree and Dallas Street beyond.
Jeff's sketch
Jeff also went downtown and found a nice lobby and a pretty tree.
Judith's sketch
Judith and her family went to Dickens on the Strand in Galveston, a longtime holiday tradition in Houston. This sketch of the Queen's Parade captures all the characters and spectators. This is only one of the fabulous sketches she did.

Join us again in January when we resume our sketchouts. We are looking for new and interesting indoor locations for the cool months. If you have and ideas, contact Judith or Robert.

Happy Holidays!
