| Peter Norris captures the "strip" on 19th Street |
Fourteen people turned out for the Saturday sketchout on 19th Street in the Houston Heights. Weather cooperated for the majority of the day, unusual for February. Two members of the group were visitors from the Austin Urban Sketchers group. Welcome!
Lisa reported that the old Heights Theater building was a favorite sketching subject, but it seems that everyone found something a little different to draw.

| Samson Bimbo Adenugba's view |
Samson settled in front of the Heights Tower and captured the view down the street. Very nice! It was Samson's first outing with our group. Welcome.
Also welcome for the first outing was Carlos Chua. He found the area around the old Harold's clothing store most interesting.

Robert James had to capture the scene in front of the Venus salon complete with Elvis.

And Britt Dearman made a study of the Heights Theater sign.

Afterwards, of course, there was the group photo.

And the throwdown.

Of course trying to get all the sketchbooks in a nice photo can be a challenge. Everyone tries to get just the right angle.

The group went over to Common Bond Bakery and Cafe for a little something to eat and to visit.
It sounds like a very successful sketchout.
