I just got Gordy Edberg's sketches from our session at The Goose a few weeks ago. They've been only recently rescued from my spam filter where they've been held hostage for the past two weeks.
The lovely and talented Kris Wiltse sketching.
Great capture of a Goose employee at work. Looks like a department manager.
I think this must be me.

Virginia sketching.
Gordy must be the fastest sketcher around - he got all seven drawings done in a couple of hours - maybe three hours tops. And they're wonderful. I'm in awe. Maybe this is what's possible when you get to work and skip the eating, coffee drinking and yakking. Hmmm . . .
Great morning sketching in the café at The Goose in Bayview. Thanks to the staff who welcomed us. Wonderful, colorful things to sketch in this new South End spot.
. . . when I spotted this lady in a great hat and red cape at the checkout counter looking like a character from a spy novel . . . a truly colorful character. Sketcher's panic attack! I had to sketch fast - but I wasn't fast enough. She was picking up her grocery bag and preparing to leave! I made my move . . . I walked over and smiled and asked her to sit for the sketchers. I gotta lotta nerve.
She said yes! She put down her groceries and her purse and picked up a book. The sketchers went nuts!
Thank-you, Ona! You were an incredible model. (This sketch was from a photo Sherryl took - great angle - had to sketch it. Note to self - sit on the floor and look up next time you have a willing model.)
