Scavenger sketching

Last Tuesday Linda,Vicky, and I were downtown working on the scavenger hunt list. The first sketch was done inside Elephant's deli on Park. The yellow ribbons tied on the sacks of cookies one the counter caught my eye so I chose to sketch this scene. I left out the people because no one would hold still!



The Portland sign was next. Looking up and trying to catch the right perspective is a real challenge.


The umbrella man was also a challenge and I would like to try this one again. In made him look too short and gave him a baggy suit and a teeny nose.
