Taking a Coyote to Cape Cod / Tomando Un Coyote a Cape Cod

La versión español está después de la versión inglés.

SOME MORE OLD sketches discovered recently while going through “my drawers.” The memories are so much more vivid than those I have from photos taken over the years. Maybe because I spent more time on each of these — although some, obviously, didn’t take more than ten minutes. If you need me, you might find me sitting on the Paseo — with my sketchbook.

ALGUNOS ANTIGUOS DIBUJOS descubiertos recientemente mientras revisaba “mis cajones”. Los recuerdos son mucho más vívidos que los que tengo de las fotos haciendo a lo largo de los años. Tal vez porque pasé más tiempo en cada uno de estos, aunque algunos, obviamente, no tomaron más de diez minutos. Si me necesitas, puedes encontrarme sentado en el Paseo, con mi cuaderno de bocetos.

Cape Cod, Massachusets, 1980. The beach was popular for launching small powerboats, so the fumes were unpleasant. But my friends and I were all hung over and we didn’t feel like driving any further.
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 1980. La playa era popular por el lanzamiento de pequeñas embarcaciones a motor, por lo que los humos eran desagradables. Pero mis amigos y yo estábamos colgados y no teníamos ganas de conducir más.
On that same Cape Cod beach. Friend Gwen’s dog Sarah. Adopted in Indiana, Gwen was convinced Sarah was part coyote.

    Happy you are sketching.

    1. Parsnip:
      I forgot how relaxing and satisfying… and stimulating… it can be.

  3. interesting selections – animals, people, plants, fish. colored pencil or watercolor for the African violet?

    1. anne marie:
      The African violet was done first in pen and ink and then, because I thought it sucked, I added color using felt-tipped watercolor markers.

    1. Mistress Maddie:
      These old sketchbook posts have been all about my starting up again. Interestingly, anything inspires me.

  4. You know, I admire a person who can draw a stick person, even! Mine come out looking like a failed geometry lesson. These are gorgeous! You can draw people, places and things equally well! I really like the ladies at the airport one. Keep drawing just for the sheer joy of it.

    1. Deedles:
      Jerry especially loves the Easter Shuttle drawing. We had it framed for years and noticed it was fading to invisible before we moved to Spain. I scanned it and have tried to “restore” it a bit.

    1. Walt the Fourth:
      And you do know I had to run through the entire song in my head!

Please share your thoughts...
