We managed to make it to 15 outdoor concerts this summer… and I took my sketchbook to every last one!
FIFTEEN!!!
So what do I draw? Sometimes it’s the band but most times it’s the audience. I love to sketch interesting postures, unruly hair and cute dogs… especially dogs!
Oh… and there’s great music too!
Ah, summer.
Here in the Upper Valley summer means it’s outdoor concert season and outdoor concerts are perfect for sketchbooking.
Two weeks ago my friend Sonja Hakala, a fabulous writer and photographer, sat next to me at the Chad Hollister concert on the Quechee green. As we listened, I sketched the scene and assumed Sonja was focusing her lens to capture the crowd as usual.
Just imagine my delight when she sent me these great photos of the spread in progress and blogged about it too!
Here’s the final spread… notice the stickers! I LOVE STICKERS!
Thanks Sonja! It’s been a great season.
… and the time is right for dancing in the street.
‘Tis the season for outdoor concerts ! Lots of dancing on the green giving me the perfect opportunity to indulge one of my favorite activities… people watching.

I like to travel light!
