Mediterranean Cafe in Vienna, Virginia

 


This was the "Drawing of the Day" for April 5, 1998. I was highly productive that year, filling whole sketchbooks and even in color such as this one. The "Mediterranean Cafe" was designed to mimic an open-air dining venue. Now in the days of plague, we're required to try it again. "Alla fresca" (outside dining) will last into September, where we diners will be bothered by yellowjackets (so-called "picnic wasps") cooler temperatures, and breezes. I don't think this place is still going. I never ate there anyway but there are plenty more in that area just like it.

Ink, markers, and colored pencils on lavish sketchbook page, 4" x 4", April 5, 1998. Just about an hour and this Blog is up to date.
