YAY! I did it guys! The first week of May, I officially completed 52 weeks of painting all over Spokane! What a wild ride! I learned a lot, got to see a lot of cool things that I wouldn't have otherwise and had a delightful time. Thank you everyone for following along with my journey! I thought it would be fun to look back over some of the things I sketched over the past year.
Holiday Lights at the Gaiser Conservatory!
Beautiful fall foliage at the Japanese Gardens.
A ride made of giant bears at the Spokane County Fair!
A lovely October afternoon at Highbridge Park.
Pumpkin season is a way off and I'm ok with that. I need to earn some more sunburns before I'm ready for frost again.
A group of Buddhist monks came to Spokane Community College to make a sand mandala as a wish for world peace. This sketch shows them setting up the preliminary details of a seriously complicated mandala.
A building downtown where a skybridge meets a facade covered in classical designs.
A classic car moment on a sunny, but COLD spring morning on the newly renovated Sprague Ave.
Just over a year ago, this is what our shiny new carousel building looked like. I stopped by this week and the finished building is so shiny and fancy!
Lilacs are gone now. We are in the short moment of reprieve just before summer's heat hits us all like a hammer.
A vendor at a Spokane Indians baseball game.
Vintage signage on Monroe!
A burger and fries at Wolffy's Diner by Gonzaga. Get there early, there aren't a lot of seats!
The gorgeous light of a winter's afternoon.
The magical castle of paperwork-the Courthouse!
Our delightful local news anchors who are way more perky than I ever could be at 6 am.
