One Warm Day in May.

















The Old Mission of San Buenaventura

One warm day in May of 2005, I went to the city of Ventura, in Ventura County, California. This old mission somehow caught my eye. I sat at the bench at the bus stop and did a pencil sketch of it. I could have finished this in less time, had I been sitting farther away from the bus stop, as a bus would stop every few minutes and block my view of the mission. Anyway, I got pretty close to the likeness of the mission. Check it out here: http://www.athanasius.com/camission/ventura.htm

I wish I could draw. I can only draw stick people! : D

I've seen a drawing by, I think, Picasso or Van Gogh made up of stick people. Hey, maybe that's how they started.
