Just back from the International Quilt Festival in Houston. For this sketch, I took a break from all the color and commotion, sat on the outdoor patio of the convention center and drew the downtown Houston skyline. That evening I added some realistic color, then on the plane home, the influence of so much pattern and color took hold.
Had a great time, and I've come home with many new ideas and some new tools, including Shiva Paintstiks. Stayed tuned to see how they play into my work.

Great drawing, Jane! I happened to have snapped a picture from the same location but at night when all the lights were on. The past 2 days at the Quilt Show have provided pages of inspiration for my art journals. Take care. ~SH
ReplyDeleteOooo, ooooo! Make sure we get to see your Paintstiks work! Mmmm!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that we didn't meet in Houston. I love your view of downtown and someday soon will put my quick sketch of the Convention Center from the Hilton. I also came home with Shiva Paintstiks, but need a block of free time before I open them.
