Okay, so I've missed a few sketches from the Everyday matters challenge. Here are a few. Not posting the dismal failures :-) I'm not only a little behind on getting sketches from the Everyday Matters sketching challenge done, but I'm also not doing them in order. Here are #16 and 21. Sometime in the next little while, I'll get around to the four that are missing :-)

We recently took a little road trip from Thunder Bay to Red Rock, stopping overnight with good friends in Nipigon and spending a day at the Live From the Rock folk music festival. On the road there and back, I pulled out my sketch book and pen, and as we hurtled down the highway, I had a blast making these tiny, thumbnail "drive-by drawings". Later, sitting quietly with my watercolours, I jazzed them up a bit with colour. Good fun. And as I look at them now, there is something definitely North Ontario in them. Such an inspiring landscape! This is a rather lopsided sketch of the old Finlandia Club in Thunder Bay. Standing on Bay Street, I did a quick sketch in pencil, took a couple of photos and then finished it up later with my Lamy Safari pen, Lexington Grey ink and watercolours. It's a venerable Thunder Bay landmark and I misspent many happy hours, many years ago, in the downstairs Hoito Resteraunt eating Finnish pancakes or pirakka and drinking gallons of coffee with my friends.

Welcome to my occasional posts
My name is Yvonne Rezek. This is a blog about what my hands are up to. Mostly sketches and drawings, some of my pottery, maybe even some knitting.
