We spent this past Sunday playing tourist with our Tourist In Your Town passes. These are a great way to see local tourist spots on the cheap. $50 gets you a family pass for 4 and lets you into more things than you will be able to visit in a month. This year we made it to the Gibbes Art museum, Middleton Place, Fort Sumter and Drayton Hall. The catch is that the weather can suck this time of year, so this past weekend we were trudging around in the wind, rain and cold. Luckily our family is pretty fun and we can usually have a good time no matter what - as long as nobody gets hungry...

Breach Inlet, Sullivan's Island

A bright, sunny day on Sullivan's - this view is from the little parking area off of Middle Street on Sullivan's right before you go over the bridge across Breach Inlet to Isle of Palms.

North Charleston Riverfront Park
I was a little bummed that I wasn't going to be able to take part in the 21st Worldwide SketchCrawl due to other obligations this past Saturday, so on Friday I went to the North Charleston Riverfront Park and spent a couple of hours drawing. This park is an underrated spot in North Charleston at the old Shipyard location - The City of North Charleston and the private businesses involved should really be applauded for the steps that they are taking to revitalize this area.
Check the SketchCrawl website to see the results of what happens when talented artists and illustrators from all over the world get together and observe and draw for a day.

Sullivan's Island Fire and Rescue Training Facility

A cloudy, windy day for drawing. This is a fire training house for the Sullivan's Island Fire Department on Ion Avenue at Station 20-1/2 Street. It's a bizarrely configured structure that (I can only assume) is rigged up with gas piping so you can simulate a fire in order to train rescue squads. Couldn't find a good vantage point and I was really closer to it than I wanted to be so it's a little hard to tell what is going on from the sketch.

Sunny Day at Remley's Point


Finally back at work after 2 weeks off for Christmas Vacation. It was a warm, sunny day in the 70's - a nice day for sketching. Found a spot in the shade and caught a container ship passing by - didn't have time to do much since it was moving by so fast. The other view is across the Wando River (alson from Remley's Point in Mount Pleasant) toward the industrial area at the end of Milford Street in Charleston. The little area of brown trees on the right is the tip of Daniel Island.
