Flower Shop

On Thursday we had a very rainy day so I went off to do some shopping and run errands. Even though they were predicting heavy rains at times, I headed over to Dick Blick which is about a 45 minute ride for me. What can I say...I had a 40% off coupon that was going to expire. Then I wanted to sketch something but the rain was still coming down. I had shopping to do at Trader Joe's and brought along my sketchbook, a pen, and my tiny palette. I asked permission to sketch and they just looked at me like I was crazy, but once I started the manager asked me not to put the store name on the sketch if I was going to sell it...so this is not for sale. LOL A nice lady posed with the sunflowers long enough for me to get her into the sketch too.

  3. Hilda, thanks. He was nice but I don't think he understood that I was just sketching. lol I

    Lorraine, sadly the 40% off was on only one item. So I bought a pack of Arches paper...definitely worth the trip.

  5. Oh Joan I had to laugh when I read that the manager didn't want the store name on your sketch to be sold. He certainly missed an opportunity for some free advertising. Great sketch - has a happy feel. You made the most out of a rainy afternoon! Have a lovely week.

  6. Celia, thanks. He only came over once to check what I was doing. Then he left me to sketch.

    Debbie, I thought it was funny too. Mavis Tires found my sketch that I posted when I was waiting for tires one day and asked permission to share it in a corporate email. Thanks so much!
