As I sit here in NYC, surrounded by snow, and waiting for more tomorrow, I like to remind myself of good times spent in warmer places. sigh… The drawing above is one of a series of drawings I made of a large food market in Barcelona. Maybe since I’m snowed in I’ll be able to […]
View post →I often find myself thinking about Barcelona, and missing both the city and the friends I’ve made there. Neil and I visited in 2010, and I went back with Ashley this past summer to give a workshop at the Urban Sketchers symposium. It’s funny, one of my favorite things to say when it starts getting […]
View post →This past summer I had the most enjoyable opportunity to present a workshop at the 4th International Urban Sketchers symposium in Barcelona. It was a fabulous three day event, full of people from all over the world who love to draw on location. Besides the fact that the energy was high and the drawings were […]

It snakes it’s way around the city and winds up in Park Guell, a massively exotic architectural fantasy land set atop a mountain looking down on Gaudi’s obsession, Sagrada Familia. I enjoyed the magical […]

Spent some time in Barcelona, then traveled to Paris with the Dalvero Academy and finally wound up my travels by going to Portland as a presenter at the Urban Sketchers Symposium!
