Salt and Pepper Shakers and a Couple of the Grandkids
We spent a family weekend at a downstate hotel, seeing our son off as he deployed to Afghanistan. As difficult as that was, we had a really nice weekend together. Some woman came up and tapped me on the shoulder as I was ordering a Starbucks and said, "There are a lot of weddings here this weekend, but there are also a lot of people here that are deploying. Just so you know". Just so I know?! Yeah, I know! Did I look like I was having too much fun ordering my coffee?This sketch was done on Nideggen paper in my sketchbook. I did the salt and pepper shakers at dinner, and one of the kids thought I needed the beverage menu as a backdrop. It would have been a good one to do in color.
I have a class tomorrow morning, so I had better go work on some sketches, so my students think I've been doing something. They keep me on my toes.
