Number 1 store - substituted the Hilton Hotel (about 9 x 12 inches)
Number 2 dashboard (about 6 x 10 inches)
I regretted starting the Hilton sketch. It is a round building with soooo many windows. The windows should have had more narrowing on the edges to make it look round. It has a lot more windows on the second floor I think. I don't have the patience for measuring and all that.
I took advantage of being in the car to do the dashboard. I thought of drawing what they call the dashboard on my iMac so as not to have to go to the car. It worked out well. Not much time after all the windows.
Gene has been wanting to try a bike trail by the airport. It is cement about 10 feet wide and goes for 4.9 miles. It is lighted to ride at night?? Doesn't really go anywhere, just along the highway. Who would be out there at night is a good question. Maybe they rent bikes at the Hilton for overnight guests. Hmmm. He enjoyed the ride.
I was waiting for him in the cell phone waiting area for the airport. (Didn't want to pay parking at the Hilton.) The parking area was very full with many Uber cars. Not much parking for regular "family waiting" and then I took a parking place, too. Hmmm. As we left we saw they have built a convenience area in part of the cell phone waiting area. Bathrooms, Subway, Austin Java, a Taco place, convenience store and gas station. I could have sketched a "real store" if I had gone another block. It is very nice for the airport.
Then we went on to Austin to Jennie's and Brandon's for his birthday celebration. It was a nice afternoon. The weather was lovely as well I could have sat on a chair instead of in the car.

lighted for people that work during the day? there has been a push in a lot of places to get people more active even in populated places
Good that you had something to occupy your time while Gene was riding. Can you imagine being responsible for keeping all those windows clean? lol Nice job on the car dashboard. Glad the airport had a waiting area with a view!
Jennifer Rose, I'm sure they had a plan for someone to use the trail at night, but the only people around there are staying at a couple of airport hotels. There is a couple of sleezy bars, a couple of gas stations and a few run down houses. And big toll road intersections at the ends. Just weird.
Joan, Yep, so many windows. We hadn't been to the airport for a while, a surprise to find the stores/mini mall. Ha. Thanks for stopping by.
I started to comment yesterday, but for some reason my computer was not showing both pictures. It was difficult to know what you were talking about. Nice sketches as always.
Thanks, Bag Blog. Appreciate that you stopped in ....and came back.
