A visit to my in-laws backyard

There are so many things we can draw.  The possibilities are endless.  I visited my in-laws backyard and I loved the fall scene.  The trees and fresh air makes for a relaxing afternoon.  Most of the time I travel with a sketch book and a pencil.  On the pictures below I set up my easel and used my oil paints on a canvas.

Urban Sketches - Chicago

I had the pleasure to visit Chicago in the summer of 2010.  I was inspired by the architecture and the atmosphere.  I sat down and drew what I saw.  It was a wonderful experience.  Stella Jurgen

A Trip to San Francisco

Hello everyone, I visited San Francisco in April this year.  The flowers were in bloom and the air was so warm comparing to where I live here in Canada.  I had the chance to sketch some of the view as we visited the city by foot.  Here are some pencil drawings.  I am looking forward to meeting you at the Lisbon Symposium.
