Lost in Lines and Mistletoe Jam

As you know, I sketch freehand and quickly.  An item on Hunt 521  http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1438231  was ceiling-scape.  We have the layered ceilings in our house so I picked the dining area.  I'm not good with lines and perspective so I did put a few pencil marks to keep me going.

Number 11 or some such - ceiling scape, in the dining area.  There is the flat ceiling, a drop down, flat and another drop down and flat.  Lovely shadows but hard to show in black and white ink.

Sunday evening we went to the Mistletoe Jam.  It is an annual event we sponsor.  Byrd and Street organize it.  The musicians donate their time and the show is super special.  Our Austin kiddos and Elaine, a friend that repairs musical instruments, went with us.  It is at Threadgills South so we eat, visit, and enjoy the music.

The Partnerships for Children benefit from the donations.  They assist the foster care system and help with older children and special needs children to be adopted.  You can read about it and maybe attend one of their events or make a donation.    https://partnershipsforchildren.org/  They are a fine bunch of folks.

 Kathy Street and Tommy Byrd (Byrd and Street) are the organizers.  www.byrdandstreet.com

 Bradley Kopp played with Bob Livingston.

Chip Dolan on keyboard, Dave Scher, Bob Livingston, Betty Soo and Kathy Street.

The Austin Lounge Lizards were there as well.

Such a nice evening and a good cause.
