Almost End of Hunt 88 Sketch

I finally went to get some groceries.  I bought groceries in Elgin the other day but they have a smaller H.E.B. (our Texas grocery) and didn't have the wine we like or salt for the water softener.  Why mention this?  I had time to do a local building for Scavenger Hunt 88 and sketch something different for a change before I went shopping.  


Number 8, view of street or building - This is the "Cash Station" belonging to the First National Bank of Bastrop.  The ATM is in an old restored gas station in downtown Bastrop.  The pump is still out front.  It is a block from Main Street and Loop 150.  The bank built a new addition next door and connected them.  It makes me smile.

This is in the Canson drawing sketchbook for the car.  It won't take watercolor but handled the colored ink.  5.5 x 8.5 inches.

The Cash Station

I also saw a little Halloween nearby.

A little spooky invasion.


Joan Tavolott, sketching friend is in Venice.  We have been traveling along with her beautiful sketches.    Start on her homepage and click on older post to go back day by day.  Canals, doorways, restaurants and much more.  You should have a look, it's amore.
