The sketches are of fun things in different places.
Sometimes, its not possible for photos to capture everything.
That's when I take out my sketchbook and draw what I have seen
and experienced.
Boats in Seattle
​
It was a rainy afternoon. Then the rain stopped and the sky was clear as though there never had been any rain.
​
The boats were parked, maybe waiting to be taken out on a ride.

The next sketch..​
​
If you've been to the city, you probably know
where this is.

Docked at the harbor
​
It was evening by the time I did this sketch.
​
I remember drawing this quite clearly because the colors of the water were different kinds of blue - light in some places and dark in some.

The Aquarium​
Aquariums are fun to draw, especially in big cities where they have a good collection of things to look at.
A quick sketch of the exterior. Bottom is one of the collections.
Ferry​
For some people traveling on water, the ferry is a daily way of life.
Ever been on one?

Pike's Place Market
In crowded outdoor places, I usually do quick sketches like this one. ​
Weekend at the zoo
​
Sometimes its also fun to do quick
sketches. That way I remember -
That was a
giraffe I saw, then a zebra with stripes
and a bear...
