I’ve been traveling here and there on Saturdays or Sundays with my friend Jane on what we’re calling Art Field Trips. Essentially these are set days to talk about art, gripe and make art.
This Saturday we traveled to Salem, MA. It was an easy trip for the 2 of us as I live just over the bridge. Salem’s downtown area turns into a giant street fair for the entire month of October. I avoid Salem most of the time but taking the train in wasn’t bad at all.
We got there at 10am and it was windy. IN the sun it wasn’t bad but the wind really made it rough to sketch. I got in a good 15 minute sketch of the bell. We walked to Gulu Gulu for lunch had a great meal and spent some time sketching in the warm cozy café.
We had a lot of fun. Our next trip is scheduled for October 30th. We’re going to go to Starbucks, set up a still life and draw.
