It’s going to be 10 days to Detox and cleanse on a green smoothie diet. I hope this will kick start better eating habits.
Meanwhile, 2 are napping.

Planning for June 4th USkKC sketch crawl
I drove all over the West Bottoms today in search for the old Weatherspoon Restaurant. I finally stopped and asked where it was. To my disappointment it closed 6 months ago. No wonder I couldn’t find it. I was by the building but all the signage was gone.
While in the area I had to stop and sketch of course. It’s such a great area to find bridges and architecture in the true sense of URBAN. This will be the area we will meet June 3rd. Food trucks will be here for lunch. I’m sure parking will be in demand, but with patience I know everyone can find a spot!
Incomplete, but I love the flower box!
I just had to touch up both sketches.
Kansas City Plein Air
We have had some great weather for spring. It’s fun to see old friends, and meet new ones.
May USkKC sketch crawl at the City Market
It was a gorgeous weekend to be outside sketching. Lots was going on around town. Kansas City Plein Air, Brookside Art Show and really great weather for yard work! The market was full of vendors selling flowers and foods, and there were performances by musicians and mimes! We had 10 people join us to sketch. #urbansketcherskc
Augusta Plein Air
APA is wrapped up for another spring event. It’s a reunion of sorts. I get to see artists I may only paint with once a year. The event committee become friends, as well as people in the community and business owners. It’s always a delight to be part of their world for a couple of weeks.
We had some sunny days and a fair share of spring storms with lots of rain. Most artists come prepared for weather varieties! Painting with watercolors can prove to be a challenge though. I watched Steve Easterwood stand in the pouring rain and complete an oil painting. He then dumped the water out of his easel and packed up. Shook the rain off his painting and smiled at me as I shot a video of him. Plein Air painting is not for sissies!
Here are sketches and paintings of my week in Augusta. I had 8 paintings on display for the final sale.
