Old Cactus Garden, Balboa Park

This cactus garden was developed in 1935 for the California Pacific International Exposition. It contains some of the largest cactus and succulent specimens in Balboa Park. This is were the San Diego Weekday Sketchers met. Below are my sketches and a 3:46 minute video of the area, sketches, and my artist friends.

Origami Box with Lid

I found the instructions to this box on YouTube, it was very difficult for me to make and it didn't close very good. The button and string were added to help keep it closed.

My adventure at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center

These sketches were created at The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. I went with a few friends on the Metro Link from San Diego to Santa Ana (an hour ride). It was an all day adventure due to 3 train delays. These were not mechanical Amtrak issues but caused by individuals.  This was a joint meetup with San Clemente and San Diego Urban Sketchers.
