Corsicana, Texas

This past weekend, Southwestern Watercolor Society (SWS) had a paint-out at Corsicana, some 70 miles south of Dallas.  About 40 of us had a great time there.  Here are a couple of sketches I did (in addition to two watercolors).

UTD mall

We live just a few hundred feet from the University of Texas at Dallas or UTD.  (It's actually in Richardson, but go figure.)  Here are a couple of recent sketches of a growing UTD.

Cap for Sketching

To top off Saturday's Sketch Crawl (a little sketchy humor), here's my painting cap, complete with my Texas Urban Sketching pin.

USk/DFW at the Truck Yard . . . Sept 2014

Yesterday, about 25 Texas Urban Sketchers from the DFW area gathered to sketch and sip with a couple of hundred young folks in the (food) Truck Yard in Dallas.  We thoroughly enjoyed our first fall-like day.

Santa Fe Camera Shop

Santa Fe is one of my favorite towns.  It's an old town . . . with an old camera shop.

Angel Fire Hike

Last week we were in Angel Fire, New Mexico.  SuAnne and Steve went for a hike (while I sketched from the car); they got caught in a heavy hail storm . . . I watched them run to the car.

Herb's Art Haiku

I like to play around with Haiku, a Japanese poetry form of 17 syllables in three lines.  The first has five syllables, the second has seven and the third line has five syllables.
