Field Trip to Cross Plains, odds and ends

We've had some intense sunny days this summer sketchers. Our Sunday sketch meet up in Cross Plains was no different. A small but mighty group came and found the best shade in the area, under an umbrella in front of the coffee shop.

As usual a good time was had by all.



As the day progressed there was some interesting traffic developments on that main road toward Madison. We increased our volume as the motorcycles, tractor trailers and other oddball modes of transportation came roaring by.



Undaunted and happy we sketched and talked and shared.



That's really what it's all about.


And an update along that line dear blog followers:

Next up is a Saturday date at the WI Medical Society along the lake in Olin Park this weekend August 25, 10-12. I will be out of town hopefully sketching in the Twin Cities. Anyone who attends, take pictures, post.

September tries two suggested locations, a Verona dog park and The Discovery Building in downtown Madison. October has Forest Lawn Cemetery and UW Arboretum featured and that takes us back to coffee shop time in WI as the temps fall.

Do you have a suggestion? Let me know! I plan to schedule only one Sketch date in November, December and January. We can always have more if you suggest it.

Happy Sketching
Ruth
