Tallahassee, Florida USA [RESULTS]

Post by markfletcher »

The Tallahassee Sketchcrawl Guild drew at Lichgate Gardens for the 35th Worldwide Sketchcrawl: We welcomed new participants including Joyce Raichelson and Bob Jones from Tallahassee, Dan and Jan Barnett 's friends Tracy Murtha from New Mexico and Maryann Leedy from Alaska; Veteran sketchcrawlers included Dan and Jan Barnett, John Bevis, Mark Fletcher, Dede Harter, Barbara Psimas, and Mary Sterner Lawson. Early in the afternoon it rained really hard. We split up to go to various locations. For example, Mary got some good people sketches at her husband Ben's book signing at B&N bookstore. (New images will be added as they are received.)

Our local sketchcrawl group will have an exhibit at the Florida State Museum of Fine Arts June 8 to July 6 to attract new members and ramp up interest for the July World wide Crawl #36. We'll show sketches from previous sketchcrawls and local "Mini-crawls" as well as some members' random sketches from their journals. Here's the announcement flyer:Image
We'll post some images from the reception later.

Wowww, how coincidental this is! I tried to post just before you added comment to Seoul results. You were very difficult to sketch outdoors too due to heavy rain as we were. But such experiences would be remembered more than the ones of nice weather. We're happy to hear that new sketchers participated in. Your drawings are nice! Looking forward to seeing more sketches soon... :thumbup: :lol: :clap:

Fabulous works! Those giant oak trees in a shady forest have something mysterious about them.
I like it.

Hi Mark,
It's nice to hear that you've watched Korean movie about Korean famous painter, Sin Yoon Bok. Here's another one about the famous painter Jang Seung Eup. Please visit here : http://www.dramadownload.net/korean-mov ... aseon.html. Im Kwon Taek, one of the most revered directors in Korea, had won the director's award at the Cannes Film Festival on 2002.Hope you to enjoy that too! Thank you! :clap: :lol:

Wonderful to see dramatic use of black-and-white sketching of such difficult subject matter as the ancient oaks.

Thank again, B H Yoo!
We started to look at the drama you sent last night--beautiful imagery--but we came home from work so late, we will save it to watch entirely another day.
Looking forward to that!
