After dinner, prepared by my darling wife, she retired to do some reading with the understanding, hubby would clear the table, wash dishes, and tidy up.
Welllllll…..he, that being hubby, decided it might be the right time to try his hand at a little naturalismo, and brought out the tools for some sketcheroo.
But kinda the same thing happend when he attempts some Uber realism as when he makes for to do dishes. He just kinda, sorta, like….loses interest, and it’s off to the next thing.

Giamila and I went for a long walk on a cold but bright and beauteous day to have a delicious lunch, followed by a viewing of In The Heat Of The Night, which was even better than I remembered it to be having previously viewed it about 50 years ago. Another long walk and we then stop in to Vanille for mint tea and to share a passion fruit tart. I began this drawing at Vanille but didn’t have the colors I wanted so I finished at home while G Babe worked on her recent embroidery project. A very lovely Sunday. Made more the enjoyable by being deeply and comfortably in love.

Three views of the terrific Banana Chocolate Chip coffee cake I enjoyed last Sunday morning at Newport Coffee House. The handiwork of their fine pastry chef Emily Donlon. The one on the left was drawn from life at Newport just before I ate it. The other two were drawn from pics later on. (Pitt Artist Pens on a Stillman & Birn Zeta sketchbook)
