Old Town Guesthouse B&B (Old City Colorado Springs, CO)

 

Spent the weekend residing in this charming B&B. After breakfast before we went home, I did this sketch. 

What I liked about it was the use of color to imply the bricks instead of drawing them all out. 

Miramont Castle (Old Colorado Springs, CO)

Went on a weekend trip with my wife before the school year started. We stayed at a B&B in Old City Colorado Springs. That morning, we did the Manitou Springs Incline. I loved it; wife, not-so-much. We tried our hand at trail running on the way down. 

On our way back, we stopped at this museum/castle. The first floor was a firefighter museum. The rest was the preserved castle. After walking through the museum, I sat out in the arboretum and did this little sketch. 

I liked how this scene was framed with the tree. As with other sketches, I like when there is a little splash of color on an otherwise muted subject. 

 

5 Points Building (Denver, CO)

Needed a little break at work so did this quicky at Champa and 28th Street.
