"Just Plane Sketching" by Lesley Spanos. Gouache on paper, 5 x 4". Copyright ©2009, all rights reserved.

Nothing special here, just a little gouache sketch from recent travels to prove that I’m still alive.  This was what I saw outside the window as I ate lunch in a small airport. The plane was gleaming in the early afternoon sun, and the palm fronds were swaying in a hot breeze. It was all very exotic. I didn’t even begin to do the scene justice, but by painting it, I’ve fixed it in my memory forever.
