Window Box

Window Box

Miriam was off to Italy, so I had a place to paint for a couple of weeks.  I left this little watercolor sketch at her house as a thank you. It is of a small window box in which she put some lovely things she has collected.  The shape in the back is the outline of some leaves from outdoors you can see through the frosted glass.

and I stayed in Miriam's cozy spot hidden within Shuk Bezelel (or as I always knew it...the shmatah shuk) while she traveled.

21st World Wide SketchCrawl Results

looking down Rothchild Boulevard in Tel Aviv

Israel's full day cross-country SketchCrawl  plans were scaled back because of the worry in the country, but I managed to find a couple of friends willing to go out with me for a couple of hours and participate in the 21st World Wide Sketchcrawl.  We were all 1st time participants, and considering they had no idea what they were getting into, my friends were very good-natured and downright enthusiastic about settling down and drawing. My friend, fellow artist, and veteran SketchCrawler, Marcello, stayed close to home and family in the Galilee, but managed to complete some lovely drawing and paintings all on his own. We were with you in spirit, Marcello! Click to see Marcello's sketch results here.

We perched on the beautiful boulevard Rothchild and here are 3 different drawings of a building directly across from us:
