Sip & Sketch Session # 32, Friday, 11/20/20.
Owls, figures, doorways into landscapes, peppers, Shintu bridges...
My tablet drawings from recent online virtual Zoom sketch session hosted by Lisa Jordan and Cindi Blank Taylor
I draw in the tablet’s own drawing option in the native notes app. I could start a new note for each sketch or just scroll down to more empty space. Later I edit these apart. Here I have not separated them.
The first sketch was from a photo of the little stowaway owl whoo showed up in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. I think it was a saw whet owl. Unlike the virus that has been wreaking havoc everywhere it hitches a ride to, this owl brought us the feeling of wonder and magic that comes with the holiday season. We head into the deep cold, the top half of the world readies to go to sleep as the sun retreats, promising it will return with its warmth. We honor this season so we can remember in the cold that the earth and our spirits will renew. Over and over again
Cat and Pig Share Espresso, phone drawings, 11/23/20
What made them think of having espresso? Where did they have espresso? Could they have some at their homes? What else did they have with their espresso? When might they have it again? Did they like their espresso?

Then toward the end of the session someone asked what was the floral looking stuff behind me. I had no idea. Usually I can’t see that stuff in the evening in a zoom session. I had been so perplexed over why my face was showing so pale and washed out tho the light was not on it, let alone knowing or seeing what was in the background. And I have not been able to look up well as I move around.
Then I remembered what I thought was showing behind me - a long fantasy landscape painted on a wooden door panel I’d found years ago in my old lower Manhattan neighborhood. Except it was not that at all. It actually is a large painting of a gladiolus single bloom almost floating above land, (ala O’Keeffe ). The painting I had described, sits on top of the nearby bookcase. On my west wall facing me, that I can see, is a view imagined thru pale blue flowing curtains as if to be made of sky themselves. There is a little pond out there. The walls too are sky of sorts.
Here are pics of these paintings. I cannot hold onto the phone properly to get these lined up the way I want. But it gives the idea.
These are my drawings from online zoom session, 11/13/20
Sip n Sketch session #31, hosted by theater costume and set designers, Lisa Jordan and Cindi Taylor,
Thank you so much for making these sessions possible.
They curate a set of images for each session. Participants draw each selection at varying ‘pose’ lengths - until the timer rings. Then most participants show their drawings briefly for a group screen shot in ‘gallery ‘ view.
My drawings from post 2020 elections Sip & Sketch session #30, 11/6/20. Ballots still being counted as we sketch. Note the peanut pushing the orange up an incline drawn from a photo. As always, hosts Lisa Jordan and Cindi Taylor, have curated a selection of 9 images for session participants to draw. Each image gets shown on the shared screen for a given amount of time. A timer rings signaling time up, share drawings, (if you choose). Someone takes a screen shot of the group display. This all takes place in zoom format.
Good to be able to concentrate on drawing for a bit. To hear people chat about their week. Counting was still going on. Probably still is. But it’s a relief the campaigns are done. Not sure I ever want to vote again. though it was easier doing it by mail in. But when margins are that thin or that evenly divided, lots of bargains and compromises have to be made, (in my opinion). It can’t be decided by one side having one more vote than the other. That leaves too many people unsatisfied.

Cat and Pig try Pizza with the works, (except anchovies). What are the works? Cheeses, tomato sauce, sausage, pepperoni, Ground beef, mushrooms, pineapple - what else?
Here is a line drawing of Cat and Pig - about to enjoy pizza with the works.
Download it to color for yourself!
Voting - how we say where we each stand. Who can really know a best choice?
We may believe we choose, but more importantly, I believe, is that we each get to say what we want.
Cat and Pig ready votes, ‘touch’ drawing, 11/3/20.
Cat and Pig Vote. ‘sig’ drawing, 11/3/20.
So glad I did my absentee ballot. In Maine we were able to confirm receipt and acceptance online.
This question reminds me of the zen or Chinese story of the old farmer.
