Garfield Orchestra Sing-Along

Instead of painting sketches, I have been painting our house lately!
So it was great to see Gail at the Garfield Orchestra Sing-Along and sketch in between parts of the
Hallelujah Chorus!  (I was in the Soprano section, can barely squeak out those high A's anymore...)
I had never been to the First Baptist Church, it's lovely.

I finally got the Lamy pen and Noodler Ink (thank you, Gail, got it on sale!) and am trying pen.
I sketched this out in pencil first, then used the pen and had to paint later at home (had to concentrate
on the high notes to not totally embarrass myself.)  I like the pen, but still have to figure out how
to use it...

Garfield High School Symphony Orchestra Playing At Seattle First Baptist Church

It was a great concert on Saturday at Seattle First Baptist Church.  Garfield Orchestra played selected pieces from Handel's Messiah.  It would have been a really long concert if they were to play all the pieces.  This was a sing along concert. You could buy the score, bring your own copy or rent a score to follow along.  I was drawing and singing in my seat.  I had enough time to draw and paint on site.  What a nice way to open up the holiday season!

A Musical Week

In the last two days I attended two musical events put on by Garfield High School.  One was the Vocal Jazz Solo night at The New Orleans Creole Restaurant. The second was the Garfield Orchestras Foyer Concert.
