The New Change Huts

Last winter new change huts were put out along the skateway.  We call then change huts or shacks  because most outdoor rinks have ramshackle structures, or tired old trailers, if your lucky.  At first these seemed too nice to use, but like any luxury, we have all adjusted to them very quickly.    There were far more people in the hut, but if I drew them in there wouldn't be much to see except the ceiling.

Oh and BTW, the skating has been really good these last few days.

Postcards from the Canal

We've been getting some real winter here. Crackin' cold, but bright and sunny.  Perfect for making ice and skating.

These aren't actually postcards as I did them in my small Laloran sketchbook that I received at the Urban Sketchers symposium last summer.  It is postcard sized and fits easily into a pocket.  At first I thought it too small, but have found it adequate for little vignettes.
