I bought some of those cool sketching pens you can use with paints and started doing some pen and ink sketches for my Gallery the Art Boutique at Tin City. The original watercolor of Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe was painted last Spring and I did this pen and ink w/c this afternoon. This is a fabulous little Road House out on Rte 41 in the Everglades. If you want to see some fantastic pen and ink watercolors check out Urban Sketchers and their links. Drawing is so important and we artists tend to want to get right to the paint. It's almost like the drawing part is the sit ups and the paint is the pool ;)

Hi there, Mary!
I love it.. colorful, fun and reflective of a happy artist!!
love it! i recently have started drawing in my sketchbooks again - its so fun really
Pretty cool!
That's a great analogy! As painters, we should be sketching every minute that we aren't painting!
Hi Mary, Love it!, the color is very vivid, with good saturation. This one is an eye popper!!. Luv Diane & Jamey
love this Mary- I think you could be an urban sketcher too- I loved that site!
I think it came out great too! Nice work!
Mary, I LOVE this! You know I love bright colors, and the sketching really adds to the fun energy of the piece. Nice job! (And thanks for that link to Urban Sketchers ... great blog). "... the drawing is the sit-ups and the paint is the pool." ha ha ha ... so true ...
Great sketch!

I love the colors you used in both this one and the Chinatown piece.
