El Toro

The other night while we were in Fredericksburg we went to a Mexican restaurant called Pancho Villa. Since we usually stay at the same hotel we had eaten there before, and I knew there was a lot of color and interesting objects. Of course I brought along my sketchbook just in case.  I had forgotten about the huge bull head that was hanging over the stone fireplace, so when I saw it I made my sister switch seats with me so I could face it to sketch. I couldn't fit everything on the page so I concentrated on El Toro and the objects on the wooden mantle.

  3. While it pains me to see any animal stuffed and mounted, I must say that this is one lovely sketch. The setup of the rough hewn wood mantle and the stone chimney...Just beautiful!

  5. That's okay. At that point, I was more interested in eating than sketching anyway. LOL! I like the bull. :)
