2020 The Year in Pandemic: part 1

The year started slowly for sketching and then the pandemic hit and it was work from home starting in March.  The subjects at first were my home office work place in my basement, zoom happy hours and occasionally getting outside away from those not in our small bubble. 

I also picked photos I had taken on trips and about town and looked at trying things with color and composition, sometimes not so successful, but it was being creative.

or working older images like this one of Mt. Rainier

First road trip was up into Skagit Valley to look at the daffodil fields.  Brought back a bouquet to sketch and mailed out cards with these sketch to those older family and friends house-bound too.

I started to experiment with ipad sketching as another digital tool.

My first trip into the city was to check out progress on the convention center expansion.  Construction sketches is one of my passions because they are capturing a moment of time in the process of producing a new piece of architecture.
