The forecast for the day was rain, but it looked like it was clear enough that I could get out someplace local and sketch before that happened. The colorful Ice Palace in Oakdale caught my eye. I didn't trust the weather so I sat in my mobile studio in the auto repair parking lot across the street. It was a good thing I did because it did pour for a few minutes and then rained lightly for a while. I was smart enough to sketch the people when I first got there...just in case they had to leave and seek shelter.lol Once the heavy rain passed there were other people who stopped for ices and sat under the umbrellas. I still haven't tried their ices, and I've sketched there before.
You can see the other sketches I've done of the Ice palace in 2022 here and in 2012 here.
This is a fun sketch and the place looks fun, too. I've yet to find a good Italian ice place to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. A lot of them just taste like icy, flavored water.
DeleteHi Joan really glad you shared your previous sketches from 2012 and 2022 - shows the different views and how you captured each so well. Hope you are staying cool...we are needing rain here! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks so much. I tend to return to some of the same places a lot. Hope you get your needed rain. That's our forecast for tomorrow. Have a good week!
