A little bit of chaos
Posted: July 10, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 19 CommentsThis seemed like the perfect scene to sketch today. A little bit of structure amidst all the chaos. And that is how my day feels as I prepare for tomorrow’s departure for the Urban Sketcher’s Symposium in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I haven’t been a student in a long time but it feels like I’m getting ready for the first day of school. I have all my supplies in my bag and I’m off to meet and sketch with people from around the world — people whose work I greatly admire. There is a lot of chaos as I decide what to pack for my sketching adventure and I’m not quite sure, really, if there is any structure in all this.
I will be relying on WiFi connections to post for the next 10 days so let’s hope that technology doesn’t let me down. If I miss a post or two it won’t be because of lack of sketches, that’s for certain. Santo Domingo is a Unesco World Heritage site and we’ll be having workshops in the Colonial Zone so watch for lots of architecture and people sketches (hopefully!). Hasta luego!
This looks so lush and shady! I love all the greens and all the textures in this.
Have a good trip to SD! I look forward to seeing your posts from there. (I went to the first symposium and it was fantastic. You’re going to love it!)
Thanks Vicky. I am so excited and I have a feeling I will love it.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip. Looking forward to your sketches from Santo Domingo!
Thanks Pat. Watch for my tropical posts.
Have a fun and safe trip Shari — I look forward to great sketches.
Thanks so much Leslie!
Crazy about all your different greens.
Best of luck on your sketching workshop. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
I can’t wait to tell you all about it Valerie.
Wonderful variety of greens, lines and delicate detail….so fluid and fresh. 🙂
All the best on your painting trip Shari, and look forward to your posts from Santo Domingo!
Thanks Mary!
Have a wonderful trip……cannot wait to see tropical seas.
Thank you so much Charlin!
I had a trellis like this in a garden once. Your painting brings me right back with its fabulous green lushness. Looking forward to your sketches from Santa Domingo!
Thanks May. Hope to see you this summer!
Safe travels! Love this sketch! Woot!
Wish you were here Steven!
Oh wow, what a beautiful painting. I am always stunned when I look at your greens, they always end up in something muddy in my own paintings.
You are so kind Rene.
This has to be one of my favorites. It is so simple and beautiful and it makes you wonder what is behind the trellis when you walk through it. Good job Shari. b
