Day 591 "Coaster Art" ink & watercolor 9 x 12

 I recently ordered some blank coasters which I carry with me.  Sometimes, in a restaurant, pub, etc, where a coaster might be used, I like to draw on my blank coaster.  I usually add watercolor later from what I remember in the room, and what I want to convey.  Here is a painting of me adding the watercolor to one of my coasters.  It was an interesting exercise, drawing the coaster, which is a drawing.  The other photos here are of the finished coaster itself, from a lunch last month at MJ Smiths on East 45th Street in New York.  There is also a photo I took from inside the pub while I was drawing. 
This is my five hundred ninety-first daily drawing.  As always, thank you for your interest, and your comments.  You know I love them.

Day 539 "Coaster Art - NY City Lunch" ink & watercolor

Spent a wonderful weekend in New York with my daughter... no agenda beyond attending a Friday night live performance of the podcast Wine and Crime, which was a blast.  We spent Saturday walking through parts of the city, drawing in Bryant Park, exploring the NYC Public Library, Steven Shwarzman building, touring St. Patrick's Cathedral, and popped into MJ Smith's Food and Spirits for a great burger, and some time for "coaster art".  I have my own coasters that I keep in my sketchbook, in case I have lunch in a pub that suits.  This one certainly did.  You can see photos of my drawings in progress here.  I added watercolor this morning while sipping coffee at my cousin's sunny counter.  A great weekend, refreshing, stimulating.  New York is a visual feast for the eye... and I loved meandering without agenda, taking in the sights.  
This is my five hundred thirty-ninth daily drawing.  Thank you for your continued interest.
