Sketching that chubby old elf...and other critters, in Florida at Christmas.

.
A few days before Christmas my son Mason and I caught a plane to Florida.


We were looking forward to spending Christmas with Pierce and Maggi and my granddaughter, Ms. Diver.
These sketches were done on the plane as we flew south.


As soon as we landed we drove to a gig where Maggi and Pierce were to perform.
I started this drawing with Diver's eye, and three hours later the drawing was finished, just as
we arrived in Stuart, Florida. Diver looks about a year older here than she actually is.
Sometime my pen leads me astray.

Christmas is for the child in each of us, of course. Here is Diver's version of a happy Christmas.
This child draws constantly. Can't imagine where she gets that from.

On one of my morning walks I ended up at this outdoor cafe, where I had breakfast.

This sketch was done while killing time to rendezvous with the kids for dinner.

And a midnight rendezvous of a different kind (under my covers no less!) resulted
in a sketch not of the jolly old elf, but this guy. There are advantages to NOT living in Florida.
