| Working from home- Robert's wife at work |
Living in close quarters and working from home has been the challenge for the past few months. And for urban sketchers it has been finding time and subjects for sketching....or at least things that somewhat resemble the mission of the group. But we have succeeded. Robert caught his wife hard at work in the sketch above.
I know that you can all relate by this point to Judith's comment on the right corner of the blog header. Judith took refuge in her house in Galveston and gave us a view of the lovely garden.
Judith says, " I am very lucky to have my art supplies in isolation. Drawing 'the view from here' during times at home makes me take a fresh view of my daily vistas...A view from the front porch through the flowering Angel's Trumpet...when I'm filling my sketchbook there is no space in my brain for worrysome and stressful covid thoughts"
The stay-at-home order caught Mary McJunkin's extended family mid-move so she found herself on grandma duty with limited time to sketch.

This restful domestic view reflects her limited time to draw. Mary says,
"I'd watch the grandkids for several hours each day and had been trying to at least sketch a little with help from Danny and Koosje when I got a free moment." (Danny Gregory and Koosje of Sketchbook Skool)

Renata has been following along the Instagram videos from USK International. One of the assignments was to storyboard your day.

I guess I know where Joel has been spending his time. And in March and early April that fire pit would be nice.

How many of us went out "for groceries" and came home with something like an ice cream bar? Cissy captured the moment for us.

It looks like Cindy got some fresh air somewhere by the bay.

I took on a more ambitious project. I sketched every day for almost thirty days and posted daily to Instagram. You can see the other sketches
here. But on one of the very last cool afternoons of this spring I sat on the glider on my porch and enjoyed a good book.
Here's hoping all of you are well and still working in your sketchbook. When this is resolved we'll have some interesting lunches passing around our sketchbooks!
