Partially collapsed wall of the 100-year-old Bliss Building in downtown Albuquerque. It was home to Lindy’s Diner, one of my favorite spots. Shortly after I did this sketch the whole building was demolished. Right now it’s just an empty lot with a chain link fence and a lot of legal drama around it.
Ink sketch of NDI on Rt66 in Albuquerque. I had to look it up to learn that it’s National Dance Institute, not an “indy” film studio. Current resident of the old Highland Theater, with the big 66 sculpture in front.
Urban Sketchers of Albuquerque & Santa Fe met on the UNM campus for the February get-together. The rest of the group was smart and sketched inside the warm anthropology museum. I was in love with the colors and shadow shapes of the building next door, so I did this instead.
Today’s sketch from our monthly Urban Sketchers of Albuquerque/Santa Fe. We met at Tin Can Alley in Albuquerque.
Sketching today at the Albuquerque BioPark. Perfect day!
Sketch in Winrock Town Venter Park, Albuquerque, NM around 19:00 am Saturday morning. Things to work on: shadow angles, clouds, leaving white areas.
Sketch of the Mountain Spirit sculpture in the courtyard on Museum Hill, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. With the #UrbanSketchersofAlbuquerqueandSantaFe

Greetings to the folks who have found me from the GenJones group over on FB. I have just been using this platform for art stuff. If you’re an artist I would love to see your work! What are you experimenting with?
Yesterday our local Urban Sketchers group was at the Albuquerque Balloon Museum. I did a couple of sketches. This is the entrance to the gift shop.
Time to dust off this account! Here are two more sketches from outings with the Urban Sketchers group, one shot of the group itself, and one quick scribble I did at the farmers market.
Sketch of the patio area at the Starbucks across from the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (Albuquerque NM). My project for the July meeting of the local Urban Sketchers group.
I joined the local chapter of Urban Sketchers this year. This is from a gallery entrance on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM.
I’ve been seeing the idea over on Threads of posting what you’re interested in to help the algorithm help find people for you to follow. Let’s see if it works on BlueSky. Artist Sketching Watercolor Pen & Ink Photography Graphic design Photoshop Illustrator
