Hanksan, we did Davis last time. I think it will be fine for us to come to Sac! McKinley Park sounds fine. My only request is that we find somewhere with shade...

Hanksan, that festival looks like fun, very sketchy too! I'll see if we can come across the causeway!

Christopher: we have lots of biking and birding to do. Don't want to commit, but it'd be great to bike across the Causeway to sketch with you! I'd love to do Sutter's Fort area, and there really are cool things to do in that section of town.

Wow Donna your colors are awesome! Someone else was raving about the Schminke watercolors... Do you love them?

Alanna, that's definitely a black-crowned night heron that you drew, great work with the pose! It's unmistakeable!

Ibeefus, I love your ink work - but the pencils are nice too. (I always draw in pen in museums but I have a tiny fountain pen that's very unobtrusive...)

Nice Alfredo! I love the expressions!

Emma! Nice to hear from you. We missed you at Mishka's. I honestly didn't have time to make a grid on my sketchbook but like the chaos of it this time. (It's a great blue heron.) Donnam: I like pen because it makes you commit. I just got a silverpoint tool and talk about commitment -- going to try t...

Stations are wonderful, good choice. Davis was too cold to be outside in the morning but then it warmed up...

"Oil pen": Mugitea, what is that? I love your sketches, especially of the braid!

Wow, great place to sketch! Nice work!

Peter Pen, I like sketching from DVD also -- I think you really caught the period "feel" of this one. I like the "mutter" a lot. (But then I think Peggy Ashcroft's fantastic, so I'm biased.)

Mike, I love your line work. Also love the window sketch. Looks like a good day despite the cold!

Nice work Sumacm! I especially like the plumes on the armor!

Here are my sketches:

The Davis crawlers met at Mishka's Cafe at 10:30 and then headed over to the open area around Border's and the Arboretum Terrace. We never caught up with Pete again and headed out to the Yolo Bypass afterwards.

A few sketches from me follow.
