Redwoods
Over the weekend, we drove along the California Hwy of Redwood Trees aka: “The Avenue of Giants”. We came across a park with a drive-thru tree named the “Chandelier Tree”. It’s amazing how the trunk of this 315 ft. tree is hollowed out and has continued to live and grow over the years. (top) A rusty wagon used to haul slabs of chopped Redwoods.

Time for a redesign at SketchCrawl.com
So here it is … a wordpress blog for SketchCrawl … using the new K2 theme. Much sharper than my cobbled together main page. What I would love to happen is for a few sketchers to become posters and contributors as well. Making this a communal blog about SketchCrawls, drawings, materials and all things having to do with that. What’s the latest discovery of yours? A new pen? A new super light sitting stool? A great sketchbook ? It’d be great to...
