"Selfie"

Today's suggestion at PAM was to do a 'selfie'.  That is, to find and draw some piece of art that looked like you.  So I went wandering through the exhibits, and finally decided on a painting of a peasant woman gathering firewood.





Then I wandered off to see how everyone else saw themselves (Robin did himself as the Minotaur).  And stopped to copy a painting of a huge oak tree, as therapy.

Jury duty

The clerk in charge of the overflow jury room.

She told us what would happen, in between cracking corny jokes.  (What do you call a dog in Alaska?  A chili dog.  What is a goat's favorite Christmas song?  All I Want for Christmas is Ewe.)

Ice Skaters

A sketchcrawl in the Lloyd Center, where it was nice and dry.

After we met and introduced ourselves we wandered up to the skating rink.  I headed up to the 3rd floor to look down on the kids.

At the south end of the rink was a beginners class.  Little kids, some wearing bike helmets, desperately trying to stay upright. Their lessons were mainly how to move forward, and how to stop.


 A slightly older tyke.  Her class was starting to work on  twirling.


And a more advanced class, for young adults.  The instructor wanted a circle for them to skate around, so she leaned forward and skated backward, drawing a perfect circle on the ice with a marker.  Something I can't do even when I can see what I'm doing.
