I love the addition of the little date stamps, the sense of perspective you achieved with Lincoln and your comment about the Simpsons. I really enjoy drawing while overhearing other people’s chatter–it’s like the other elements–breezes, scents, etc. that sort of get embedded in the art when you draw outside.

The sketches are beautiful. I love how the complimentary violet-blue works on the yellowish paper.

Lovely work, your pastel palette is very soothing.

Your subtle palette corresponds so well to the slow, hot feeling you get in Washington in the summer. I love these - looking forward to the New York sketches!

I lived in Washington for years, in walking distance from the Mall, and always loved the Einstein memorial - and the Jefferson, which is smaller and more elegant than the clunky Lincoln memorial. The WWII memorial is after my time. You didn’t mention the Vietnam memorial? — possibly not as drawable than others… thanks for these glimpses of a city I love.

I love the soft flow of your drawings. I never knew there was an Einstein Memorial, now I have to go back and revisit the DC mall. Thank you for the inspiration and beauty.
