Ariana and I rode our easy to handle, quite, peddle powered bicycles to the Harley-Davidson Museum to draw. The landscaping on the H-D grounds is really nice, lots of what I think are native plantings. We parked underneath the 6th St. viaduct for the shade and drew what we could see from there. Tuna melts at the restaurant and then back home.

Chris and I had a nice ride over to the valley. We parked ourselves under the 6th Street Viaduct. Lunch afterwards at the HD cafe and then a ride back along the lakefront. Milwaukee is a fantastic city in the summer! We heard gospel music as we biked through the Lake Shore State Park and we took in the Air Show. If only the government would throw as much money at education and infrastructure as it does at the military.

On Location home edition

We didn't make it to the museum on Saturday, which was probably a good thing. Our neighbor who is a barrista at the museum mentioned to Chris that they expected over 4000 visitors this weekend. Here's  some on location at home. I'm still figuring out this digital painting medium. I discovered that I like the paint roller tool in the Artrage app.

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.
