Trixxie's Trolley Trek

"Trixxies's Trolley Trek" started at the Santee Trolley Station. The San Diego Urban Sketchers hopped on the trolley for a short ride to the next stop where we got off, sketched for 15 minutes then jumped back on the trolley to the next station. We sketched at 4 different stops before returning to Santee. All of the sketches were done quickly, after the 2nd stop i realized I left my bag on the trolley, while it was on the way to downtown San Diego, I continued to sketch but with pen only. Thanks to a trolley flagger who radio'd the trolley I was lucky get my bag back with all my valuables still in it.

I just got "A World of Artist Journal Pages" in the mail, a book by Dawn Devries Sokol where I have 2 pages of art work published. My friends,Carol Bonomo and Francesca Albini are also in the book.

San Diego Automotive Museum, April 2015

a one minute video of my favorites at the automotive museum, along with a few sketches done on location.

Envelope Book and stamps

This is my completed humming bird stamp. I used the remnants to carve some flowers and leaves to decorate the paper bag books.

The books were made from instructions in Alisa Golden's, Making Handmade Books.

Hummingbird

In progress. This hummingbird is carved into a speed ball speedy cut. It is 4.5 x 4.5 inches. I stopped because I wasn't sure if I want to have the humming bird alone or with flowers. I decided to do the flowers separate.

Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla

The Wolfstein Sculpture Park at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, is part of the Arts for Healing program. The San Diego Urban Sketchers met there this morning to draw in and around the Serenity Garden. My sketch is of Pedestrian Observation by Ed Benavente.
