Merwin's Wharf on the Cuyahoga River

Quick Sketches

It was a wonderful sketch outing at Merwin's Wharf, next to the closed Columbus Bridge. Here are some quick thumbnail sketches. On the left are a series of two minute sketches (1 x 1.5") and at the right are 15-20 minute sketches (3 x 2.5") using General's Woodless Graphite on sketch paper. Plenty of interesting activity on the river and the patio.

Postcards from Edgewater Park

Wish you were there! It was a beautiful day to sketch at Edgewater Park on Lake Erie.

5th Street Arcade (old Euclid Arcade)

Here's my attempt at the old fashioned staircase, near Euclid. The angles and perspective were a challenge. Really enjoyed the outing and drawing with our group of awesome sketchers.

Exciting to sketch while the Cleveland International Film Festival 

was happening at Tower City. Especially fun for me because

Beth Harrington - director of The Winding Stream 

stayed with us and we had a Syracuse reunion.

Chautauqua Institute Landmarks

From my sketch-a-day class at Chautauqua Institute located in upstate New York, used General's Woodless Graphite on heavyweight sketch book paper. A wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon. Not quite Cleveland, but a short 2 hr drive East.

W. 25th & Meyer

I took artistic license to give make my composition more pleasing, used General's Woodless Graphite  on paper. It was a beautiful day to get out and draw.
