Out again on another business trip. I kind of enjoy going out of town on business. New places and new people can be exciting and fun. It is tiring, though, to be “on” that long. I require a bit more down time than is available when traveling. After the long drive all day, and after we ate dinner and rehearsed our presentation, I grabbed my artist paraphernalia and headed off to the lobby. It was dark and cold outside so I didn’t get to do any sight seeing. I drew the EDM challenge first then decided to play with my mini sketch kit. OK, the truth is I had been looking forward to playing with the watercolor kit all day. So I dashed out this rendition of the fireplace mantle in the hotel lobby.
The EDM challenge was to draw a mailbox. Being that I was in a hotel, there were not a whole lot of mailboxes handy. I asked the clerk where I might find the closest one. She assumed that I wanted to mail a letter and directed me to the outgoing mail basket. Well, there’s something a little different.
