No Kings Protes

Two friends and I headed to the No Kings Protest in Mineola last weekend. I was good to be among so many people that feel the same way about what has been happening. There were some great signs by individuals in the crowd. I sketched in mostly black and white on location. It was too much to manage watercolors since I was standing up (and not leaning against anything). I added the color at home and you can see what a difference it made.

 

Bits and Bobs

On Memorial Day Weekend there were "No Kings" protests all across the country against the attacks by our president on our democracy. I attended one locally in Patchogue. It was raining when I arrived there and I saw that I had a bit of a view from where I parked my car. I did a quick sketch, pulled on my rain poncho, and joined the crowd for the protest. It rained the entire time but that didn't deter the crowd.

Meanwhile I've been participating in the Creative Spark Scavenger Hunts. One of the items was a mailbox. This one is located up the street from me. I've wanted to sketch it before, but it is hard to park along the street there. I love the dolphin...or is it a porpoise?
