Merion Cricket Club

The Merion Cricket Club

is a grand old building and

huge porch overlooks the

Great Lawn...the structures

are faced with red brick and

terracotta.

Chris Patmore

This gentleman played quite deliberately and

I was able to get several poses-- the problem

(or should I say, challenge) with this sort of

sketching is that your unaware model tends to

move around.

Ben Rothman

I believe this gentleman

is the top-ranked player

in the U.S.of A.

Bermuda club

Micah Beck

I went to the world biggest croquet

tournament last September at the Merion

Cricket Club and when I wasn't playing,

I sketched some.  Here are a few of some

ranked participants playing "Association".

Girl and Fence

Drawn while watching TV, methinks

Ravinia: Graham Nash

Graham Nash has seemingly weathered

the years better than Crosby and Stills,

at least from the distance of 200 feet!

Ravinia: David Crosby again

Crosby is such a distinctive character which makes

him easy to draw....in this case from the large video

monitors flanking the Ravinia stage...I was actually

standing with the groundlings on the periphery of the

seated pavilion. His noggin from that distance was

the size of a matchhead.

Ravinia: David Crosby

We were at Ravinia to hear

Crosby, Stills and Nash--

thank you very much,

Marianne!

Ravinia hat

My lovely wife at Ravinia

Ravinia hair

Ravinia heads

Whenever I see these old hipsters I

remember I'm older than them!

Ravinia hats

- some of our neighbors at Ravinia this summer---

Winepress

So, Marty has this cool old

winepress in his living room---

Taos pillar

We visited with our son (interning at

Earthships outside of Taos) and shopped

and sketched while Ann got a foot massage.
