New Years Sketches

Hey all,

I haven't been able to make the last few sketch crawls:( but I have been sketching. Here are two from this year. One admission, the orange three wheeler was drawn on site, but painted at home, I just ran out of daylight, and shining my high beams across the street for an hour wasn't going to cut it. The dumptruck is from a little excursion up the beautiful Highway 99 North parked at Sky Nursery. I will even add that as a suggestion for a future sketch crawl. And if you get bored, Aurora is endlessly fascinating.

fry's parking lot

Last February I was sitting in a hot car in the parking lot of Fry's, waiting. While I waited I sketched the closest contractor's truck. Funny how satisfying these little sketches can be when there is no pressure to make them, just passing the time!
The truck finally rolled away so I started in on the concrete trucks across the fence. This was with value pens. Only got partway into the second value before my pal returned and we left.

Have to say, I love Tony's sketch of the giant typewriter eraser sculpture on the logo. Perfect for this blog!!
