Sketches from the Food Truck Fest

We went to the first Memphis Food Truck Fest, which was held on Tiger Lane at the Liberty Bowl. The place was PACKED! People walking and eating had to wind their way around long lines at all of the trucks. Bands played, puppies were adopted, books were distributed. The whole affair was a benefit for Literacy Mid-South. Looking forward to next year!

Sketching at Elmwood Cemetery

Earlier today we braved the wind and near-rain to meet up at Elmwood Cemetery, one of our favorite places in Memphis to sketch.

Sketches from the Old Forest in Overton Park

Earlier in April we went to the Old Forest in Overton Park, led by frequent Old Forest visitor Martha Kelly. It was such a peaceful setting and we were all inspired.
