Squeezed in a little sketching-upon-my-knee this morning.
This afternoon, the daughter & best friend, and I took a tiny road trip north in preparation for the next campus tour (this time Western Washington). It's not really that far of a drive - a bit over an hour and a half, but she is meeting with the director of the music dept. early, and my husband has eleventy-hundred hotel points from all of his vast traveling, so he set us up in a nice hotel a bit down the road from the college.
The daughter is jealous of my suite - with the iHome, dual-TVs, mini-fridge and microwave, wifi and my own pet orchid, but she and the BF get their joint room to themselves, so they really can't complain. So we are hanging out and relaxing this sunny evening, having a 'girl's night out' before the all-day marathon of tomorrow...
Tomorrow we'll see if Western is photo-worthy...
Lovely photographer/designer friend Catherine was interested in seeing more of the architecture of the University of Washington campus - so here you go:
It was lovely seeing the building tops peeking through the trees - looking for all the world like castles...
- with a bit of modern thrown in next to the more vintage...
...every floor has a different style of window...
(I wonder if one can go up into the various towers and 'gazebos' on the roofs. I'll bet the views are great...)
And here is the arts building. Even *it* has towers!
Just a small sampling of some of the cool building exteriors....
More 'gazebos' on the rooftops (what are these really called???)
In the fall, the extensive growth of Boston Ivy turns a gorgeous bright red...
...so many different roof lines...
...turrets and archways....

I felt like drawing chocolates. I think these look suspiciously like See's. I may have to do a series:
See's, Godiva, Josef Schmidt, Tootsie Rolls... What else?
I'm also getting away from burnishing so much. I like leaving the texture of the board showing, and it also saves my hand from cramping. Burnishing is like a fast track to carpel tunnel. And who needs that?

You have a lovely gift for making all life's adventures fun.
I'm sure your daughter will pass that on to her daughter someday as well :)
(I don't know if any campus could be Washington's Hogwarts, tho'.)
Nice on getting the sketching in.
Looks almost church like, nice portrait.
An i-home and an Orchid? Wow, never seen those in hotels before. That would be such a nice room for cons..
*day dreams*
eleventy-hundred, that's a lot! Nice sketching, as usual! Your suite looks cool! I hope you have a nice time friend.
Well gee....I used to get in trouble for drawing in church!!
Have fun on your trip!!
