After a week of drawing lots of people (aka #oneweek100people) I needed a break in the chase after human bodies to sketch and I knew that Suhita Shirodkar (who organized a whole bunch of super cool events for the #oneweek100people this year - from short morning sessions to guest artists to a marathon session) was even more ready to draw something other than humans. And that is how we ended up in one of our yearly sketching locations - Apricot orchard at the Saratoga Public Library. Only the trees were almost done blooming... unseasonable heat pushed blooming time at least 2 weeks ahead, said the caretaker of the orchard (before warning us that sprinklers would be tested soon, so we'd better move to the other side of the library, where there are some blooming nectarines and plums and where sprinklers were not scheduled to go off any moment). And that is how I ended up with one view of an apricot orchard and one view of what I think is a plum tree ;)
P.S. This is a second Apricot Orchard Outing that saves my sanity this month - here is first one.
