</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been starting and not finishing a lot of painting for the last few weeks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I think part of it is that I am trying a lot of new things and my ideas get ahead of what I am doing and I want to move on - not continue what I am working on. It started when I got so frustrated with my watercolor that I decided to try and paint in oil. Of course, that means learning <u>a lot</u> of new things, both materials and the way oil works, not to mention doing some amazingly cruddy painting. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We will be meeting in Tel Aviv. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would like to meet at <a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/2008/07/tel-aviv-organic-coffee/">LovEat</a> on 3 Nachalat Binyamin. I will be at the cafe a little before 9 a.m. next Saturday morning for coffee. It would be fun if we could all meet, there, but really, come any time. As far as I am concerned, I could stay there drawing, up and down the street for as long as anyone wants to stay. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you will email me and let me know you are coming, I will send you my cell phone number, in case you want to double check where we are. I think we will be pretty obvious. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> There is plenty of parking on the west side on Allenby on the side streets on Saturday.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Last time we organized this, we met on Rothchild Bld. in Tel Aviv. While Rothchild is usually fun and sometimes lovely, it is always very crowded on Saturday. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Nachalat Binjamin has a little something for everyone, I think. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> People, bicycles, dogs, cats, restored buildings, decrepit buildings, coffee shops and restaurants</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> and lots of benches and best of all: no traffic.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">The people who come to this range in skill from 0-100. Just bring what you want in terms of drawing - sketch book, journal, paper, pencils, markers, crayons, ?</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I will photo what everyone draws and put it both on this blog site and also on the </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sketchcrawl.com/">Worldwide SketchCrawl </a>site, as well under Israel.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">For those who cannot make the trip to Tel Aviv, scan or photo sketches you did on this day (and where you were in Israel) and email them to me. I will also include your sketches.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

I always thought I would take the time to answer each one personally, but I never did. But, allow me to tell you here, all the notes meant more to me than you could ever possibly know.<div><br /></div><div>And now, more than a year later, I post one tiny watercolor sketch I did for a friend and again you come out of the woodwork to tell me you are glad to see me back.

I love to stay in other people's homes when they are away traveling. Not that I don't have a home of my own - I do. A very pleasant one. But there is something about just slipping into someone else's life for a short time that really appeals to me.
