A few more

So, here are a few sketches I did Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

A lady at Panera and Megan from Adega --- Eric G., I might have beefed him up a bit too much in this sketch 

My back-up pen --- Heidi knitting at Adega

Girl at the Quarry House --- Dude at the QH with some funky posture 
(or maybe it's just a funky drawing)

I stumbled across this file in IPhoto and thought I'd share it.
This is a painting I did last summer, I think.

Later

New Painting/sketches

These are sketches I did last night.
Heidi at the Quarry House --- This guy is at Panera just as much as me

I stopped in at Mayorga Cafe today for coffee and ended up sketching this girl at the counter
Mayorga is a great spot, they have cool art on the walls too!

This a commissioned painting I just finished today of Duke Mansion in Charlotte, NC
I went to a UPS store to send it to my client in NC (not cheap)

That is all for today. I will hopefully have more in the next couple days.
