Friday night at the dog park

The dog parks are open! There are three within ten minutes of our home but the two best ones tend to be closed during the rainy season. Brix needs a lot more exercise than he's getting. Yesterday I took all three dogs for their usual Thursday morning play date at a friend's house and today I took Brix to my favorite dog park. There were so many dogs there, all breeds and no fighting. I snagged a seat at the picnic table and drew and drew and drew. I learned two things -- prep the page ahead of time (something I didn't do this time) and practice, practice, practice. I'll have to spend the entire spring and summer at the dog park if I want to learn how to draw a recognizable dog in action.

For those of you having love affairs with your Moleskine sketchbooks (aren't we all?), this video by Domingo Martin is a must-see.
