Urban Sketching

P and I went down to tiny Brevard, NC, this afternoon to do a sketch crawl with the Urban Sketchers group from BPAC.  I spent an hour standing on a corner on Main Street drawing this old building. My first attraction was the series of curved-top upstairs windows.  I found myself  

quickly lost in the details of the side of the building along the alley. Someone inside the building laughed maniacally the entire time I was there. I began imagining a raucous game of solitaire  being played, a hilarious telephone conversation, a fantastic novel being read. What could make someone laugh that much??

Later I went into the hardware store and quickly sketched these six onion sets!
