Wish we had some views like this in Augusta. Sigh.
Every time I go to Trader Joe’s on Monroe I always stare at it for a few minutes.
It’s looking over the Grady High football field toward Piedmont Park.
Those tall buildings never fail to fascinate.

Last visit to Decatur I decided if I could nail my dogs when I drew them that I SHOULD be able to draw my grandkids. Well like anything else that requires practice. So page 1 of practicing sketching Livie! She looks a little old but not to bad. Also journaled commemorating her birthday party the day before.

Is in Aiken Center for the Arts right now. We thought it was a mixed bag when we looked. What do you think?!
I believe this one was the grand prize winner but not sure.
Sorry for the terrible pic
Post the rest tomorrow. Love to hear what u think of them.

Almost forgot to post. Been a busy day dismantling my HUGE fabric stash.
Been doing quite a bit of urban sketching the last few days but have I sat down to paint them?! Uh NO!! These guys from St Augustines Church have met every Thursday at the Inner Bean for YEARS. They can be overheard discussing just about anything. The vicar even sits in at times. And they have a great time.
Love this cute little lilac house in Pine Lake. Right across from the Park on the lake. You suppose the owners would let me buy it?!
A cute yellow house I looked at in pine Lake. Oops the whole front facade is falling off and the foundation is cracked. Double oops.
An Iconic View of Atlanta from Trader Joe’s very similar to the view from Piedmont Park.
Hugs. Tomorrow is Saturday. Wonder who the model is.

For sale in Pine Lake cute cute cottage 1500 sf. Well if u don't look at the addition. Or all that OLD DARK pine paneling.
The granite fireplace IS marvelous as is the granite foundation and steps.
But not that side porch-18 stuck non working jalousie windows-18 of them. Eeekkk. They won't open and they won't close but there are some cool old built in cupboards out there. One big enough for a pantry not that it's near the kitchen a tiny cubicle in the middle of the house without a window. Dishwasher is a plus.
OH SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST!! THe owners are selling the side yard right next to the house so u can ever use those lovely granite steps to the back door. WHAT can they be thinking.

Xoxoxox Margaret!! Home from Atlanta taking a LONG nap.
A cute little 800 sf house in Kirkwood I thought about buying. It would take me a year just to get rid of everything I owned and fit in this small a house. But I think it was my favorite house that I looked at. It also had a finished walk about basement rental apartment a real plus when a house this size in fixer upper shape costs $219000! 😳

Don't forget to stop in at Le Petit Marche for some deliciousness or other. Everything I have eaten there has been great.
I know I posted this before but decided to put both of them together. As many times as we have eaten there don't know why I have never drawn it. It's so popular on Friday and the weekends they ask you not to tarry more than an hour or so.
Usually we eat in the front room. I had never sat in the back. Just as charming as the front room. Ps great service too.

We eat at all the Oakhurst restaurants a lot. This was drawn while we were sitting at the Joint waiting for our lunch. Had a delicious arugula chicken salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing.
Like the pthalo blue I used for his beard.
