I just finished my 4th sketchbook and though i should share some highlights from this sketchbook. I finished it in a record 45 days . I tried to do more "still life" sketches in this sketch book.

I think i did this drawing of the Greenbridge construction site about a month ago now but i have been so busy with school and work at night that i have not found the time to upload my sketches. I always say on my blog that i will be uploading more drawings in the next couple of days but it then turns out to be more like a month until my next post. I did this form rosemary street close to where the Greenbridge offices are.

last Monday since it was a hoilday i went out with my dad to the Greenbridge condos site to sketch the construction site . I used a Japanese style moleskin which folds in and out like an accordion. I was able to do three sketches i will post the other two sometime this coming week.

Last weekend i was able to get out to carrboro so I could draw the Greenbridge Condos. They are really coming along, the glass and the brick skin are almost complete . The inside is coming along on Monday I saw then bringing up air shafts to install. The scanner really whited out the side of the building . I can't wait to see what the stores at ground level will be , I am curious though who the tenants of the retail space will be.

To recent water color sketches the top one is a drawing of the green bridge condos its a fairly simple view of the first and second floor of of GreenBridge west I choose the location because i was able to find a good place to sit down. The other drawing is of an old barge at seabreeze a small community near Carolina beach.

Some recent drawings of the new Greenbridge condos in Carrboro. The top sketch was done today while waiting to get pizza at the Franklin street pizzeria. The bottom sketch was done yesterday while at Milltown for lunch . Although there is a lot of criticism towards the New Greeenbridge condos I am Really pleased with what they will offer Chapel Hill and Carrboro . I am very excited i really hope these condos will help make the downtown the center of activity for a town rather than malls . This will give Carrboro and even more European feel even though it is already called the Paris of the Piedmont, because residents of the new condos will be able to walk from there condo to dine, shop and enjoy the downtown . Another exiting fact about these condos is the fact that they will be very Eco friendly .

This a sketch looking out form the window of the exam room at the doctors office in chapel hill. It was taking so long for the doctor to arrive that i deiced to pull out my sketchbook and started sketching the construction sight across the street.
