Ozarks Sketching

[katequicksilvr]

Our midweek getaway/mini-honeymoon trip to Bennett Springs didn't turn out exactly as we'd planned.

OK, things seldom do, but this REALLY didn't.  As kateslover wrote in his blog post yesterday, instead of finally getting to fly flish at this old Missouri State Park--I've been going there since I was a kid--he got sick.  NOT fun...so between going for cold

Sorry to hear Joseph was sick on vacation. :( Hope he's all better now.

What brand of Japanese fountain pen is that? Love your sketches and it looks like a beautiful spot.

You'll just have to try again another time for your mini-honeymoon. ;)
Always, Rita

Hi Rita! He's beginning to feel better, but still sneezy and worn out.

It's a Platinum pocket pen. Russ Stutler has more on eBay right now! Here's his shop...

Joseph wanted to know if I wanted to try again this coming week, since this is the last week the cabins will be open. I'd love to, but...

Hee, I gots that same Platinum pen! Also a black one. :) My waterbrushes, on the other hand, are generic Chinese-brushy type ones I got from the student art supply store. Oh wait, I got one that came with my Aquash set. :)

Hi Shuju! I've decided I'm pretty much a Niji fan--though I love the way some of the others fill without the extra baffle. (They also want to leak, often...)

I love the little platinum pen, used it almost exclusively on our last trip to CA!

Lovely buildings and lovely paintings!
