Cook and I chilling on the porch.

Just to sit on the step and unfold my sketching gear, starring at the greens makes life beautiful. Even I hated my sketch and didn't have time for watercolor that day I still have treasured moment in my memory of finishing up cup of coffee, Cookie pressing against my leg, morning, blue mountains and feeling of hope.

Blooming purple in Stillman&Birn Delta book.

I added quick outline to blooming trees sketch in Stillman&Birn Delta series sketchbook, which was laying for days on the top of my scanner and looking at me with reproachful purple flours, while I was sleeping, eating and breathing cracks and ruins for the mural during past few days.
Little Delta book 6"x8" is so cute and comfortable to drag along, so I sharpen my pencils and hope for some  sketching adventure, with Bijou box, since it takes washes so gracefully.
Here used ink and Kuretake and Tradio pen.

Another small watercolor in Delta Stillman&Birn. Today is my Birthday.

I like perforated pages, it always lays flat and gives you an illusion of separate piece of paper. If you like the page could be removed without damaging the whole sketchbook. I was not comfortable with this before. The only thing is that materials used should be strong, not smudgy or it should be sprayed with fixative. I used watercolor(Bijou box) with water brush and Uranus pen for outlining.

Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

We had some errands to do in the neighborhood, so parked the car on the hydrant, so I stayed in and had fun. We checked on Iphone what Yelp has to say about this cozy "Yellow Hook Grille", some cool stuffed mushrooms,  and planned it for our next visit. After our home creation masterpiece: double baked creamy with fake bacon and scallion potato skins nothing seems good enough. (Drawing will follow).
 I got wild with Kuretake brushes over ink on Hahnemuhle Torchon paper. It says online that in the mid-seventeenth century Dutch settlers called this part of Brooklyn Yellow Hook because of the color of the soil.
