Magical Sketchcrawl

 Queen Califia Magical Circle in Escondido, California
Our wonderful San Diego Sketchcrawl group got together recently at Queen Califia Magical Circle. It's a sculpture garden created by the renowned Niki de Saint Phalle. It's recently reopened in Kit Carson Park in Escondido, California. It's hidden away, and open very limited hours. But as you can see, well worth a visit!

Our wonderful San Diego Sketchcrawl group met this month, at Susie & Chris Clark's garden. I didn't get the chance to draw all these gorgeous flowers (and pet tortoise) so I photographed them.

Our group always gathers around 12:30 for lunch and to share our journals from that morning's sketching.

If sketching & watercolor with friends at San Diego farmers markets are so much fun, can you imagine how fun it will be in my week long workshops in Orvieto, Italy and Nice, France next year!
