Urban Sketchers Winnipeg: Monday Sketchout at Anita's Place

Last Monday was a hot and sunny day which was perfect for sketching and painting in Anita's backyard. Anita had timed our visit for the opening of her white poppies. Of course I remembered how wonderful her homemade soup and bread was from a previous visit so I looked forward to it again. She didn't disappoint ... she had a wonderful, perfectly spiced sausage chowder. Homemade bread accompanied it and cheesecake made by Ruth finished off our delicious lunch.

The group that came out this Monday included Analee, Sylvia, Jim, Ruth, Anita, Luanne, Bernice and myself (Shirley). I find as some others in the group that it's fun to do portraits of people painting ... it's a nice change from doing flowers or other garden subjects. Luanne as a subject never disappoints as she always wears a really colorful top. Nice day in Anita's garden!
