I’m increasingly fascinated by these artifacts. I’m even a little disappointed when I see the neutral black tap handle. Don’t get me going.

Sand Hill Cranes in Ohio
A buddy of mine got me thinking about Sand Hill Cranes here in Ohio. So, while Annyth gets her hair cut, I had time to play around…over a Great Lakes Conway’s Irish Ale

W&J’s Old Main in Washington PA
A rough, very free-hand, and quick sketch of Old Main on the picturesque campus of my alma mater, Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, PA drawn on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil in an app called Paper 53 and another called iColorama and based on a personal photo. Just below it is another digital painting done previously on my iPad in the Procreate app of the Washington Trust Building and surrounding cityscape, a view that repeatedly caught my eye whenever I’d sit on the hillside in front of Old Main as an undergraduate from 1974 to 1978. (See related post related to Jefferson College and Washington & Jefferson College.)
I drew Old Main on a visit to my hometown, Canonsburg, PA while sipping an 1802 Cream Ale on nitro at the Rusty Gold Brewing. I was sitting at the bar painting on my iPad, and the curious bartender asked me if I was carrying any prints on me for sale. I was; a little paper print of this image from this post. She bought it and put in on a shelf; see below. Awesome, eh?

Check out their logo. Maybe this is why they selected one of my truck images.
Katrinaversary & St. Peter’s Cream Stout
Annyth and I picked up 2 prints from Cuba that we had framed and then stopped off at the 17th St. Pub for a beer and some take out from J&R Tacos. I had a St. Peter’s Cream Stout that I snapped an iPhoto shot of because I thought I might try sketching it once I got home. (Nuffs been said about the 10th anniversary of Katrina, which we experienced first hand…well while on forced evacuation via CNN.)
Procreate. Note: I partially traced over the label on a separate layer…only the label, the rest is a freehand sketch using the above mentioned photo reference, as shown in this progress video.
Heavy Heart
I sat down at the 17th Street Public House, and one Black Butte Porter later, this one popped out:
