It was fun to meet inside to sketch the Ferris wheel on this very cold day with artist friends and Mom! Lunch afterwards at their Cafe was icing on the cake. Scheels is a great place to shop, with painting subjects ranging from architecture to the grand aquarium and taxidermy. I brought a sketchbook today, wanting to immerse myself a little deeper in my methods. Many subjects would have been far easier than this Ferris wheel, but when I think of Scheels, this is what comes to mind. I've left the upper left corner a little dreamy because I plan to write about my day in that area. I find it best to sketch on scene and fill in the words later - when I'm not so distracted by family and friends. I can paint all day while talking to others, but it takes solitude to pull together the right words that really 'paint' my experience. Painting number 5068 in 5068 days.
