I was fortunate to have spent the weekend in San Francisco with my husband and sister, where we had tickets to see Les Misérables at the Orpheum Theatre. It was the first time I'd ever seen the musical, and it was absolutely fantastic!
The next morning we got up early to walk down by the piers and have breakfast. Along the way we came upon several fisherman out early with their gear. This man was full of smiles, and I thought it would be lovely to sit and paint him. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stop, but I was able to paint him today from a photograph we took.

The other day I was out on my patio and noticed an interesting pattern made by three coloured lights shining up from the parking lot below us. The effect was a multicoloured projection of triangular shapes up onto our balcony. That was the seed that started today's collage:

We went for another hike in Bragg Creek, and when we returned to the main street to get ice cream(!), I sketched Madrina's, an Italian restaurant that is nestled in amongst the pine trees:
