On Location Milwaukee

I did this with the App, Brushes, on my Ipad. I'm learning...

Miller Park in the background and "The Old Main" on the left.

An oak tree?

We went back to Milwaukee's historic Soldiers' Home this week. You can see the top of Miller Park from quite a few spots on the VA grounds. I've been trying to find a good vantage point to draw it. Also, the Farmer's Insurance zeppelin airship was flying overhead all morning. That's three consecutive visits to the VA grounds, I think we may find another location for next time.

Weeping willow by the lagoon.

It was a very pleasant day on the VA Center Grounds. The first two drawings are from the now officially "Endangered Historic Places" and the third is from the lagoon. the drawings were made on my Palm Zire PDA.

Here's one of my drawings. I used a felt-tip pen and old fashioned paper. Hard to believe it's summer. It felt like March.

I used my Palm Zire Notepad again at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center. The grounds are quite nice and some of the old buildings are very nice but in need of repair. It could be a very promising site to draw in the future. It's also on the Hank Aaron Trail for the cyclists in our group and the bicycle curious. However, we need to identify a public bathroom for future visits.
