I’ve never been to a place like Nashville. Mid-day there is a concert going on in every bar. They were setting up an elaborate stage for the NFL draft, while down the street a NHL playoff game was going on. And I heard next weekend there is a marathon. Groups of people there to celebrate birthdays, bachelorettes, etc. Some of them on peddle bars, riding through the streets. Did I mention live music everywhere? even the airport. I’ve been to Vegas, New Orleans, but Nashville is something special ❤️ 🎸 🎶 @visitmusiccity Illustrated map making Day 22/100 #the100dayproject #mapmaking #illustratedmap #nashville #sketchbook #watercolormap

Working on Nashville’s Union Station, a former railroad terminal now hotel. It’s clock tower stood out to me as we rode around downtown, especially how it glowed at night. 💡 Hard to capture all the detail in a 4” illustration that will be reduced to 1”. I guess that’s one of the challenges in map making.

As a kid I saw The Grand Ole Opry on tv 📺. Minnie Pearl with the price tag hanging off her hat is my most vivid memory. I never thought I’d actually go to the Grand Ole Opry. I think I’m going to become a country music fan. 🤠 Illustrated map making (the Nashville edition) Day 20/100 #the100dayproject @sakuraofamerica @cansonpaper_northamerica #mapmaking #illustratedmap #nashville #sketchbook #watercolormap #grandoleopry #thegrandoleopry

It’s a fun twist to my illustrated map making project to be able to explore a new city - Nashville 🎸 - with map making in mind. These worn boots were inspired by the County Museum Hall of Fame and Museum. The costumes are unbelievable, as is Elvis’s gold plated Cadillac (swipe to see). So far it’s easier to paint then I thought. My Koi travel watercolor set (and small Canson watercolor pad) is working out great. But I have them set up in the hotel. I’m not one for painting in public.

Painting a guitar because when in Rome...I mean Nashville. Using my new travel watercolor set. Nice rich colors! Illustrated map making Day 18/100. Koi watercolors @sakuraofamerica #the100dayproject #mapmaking #illustratedmap #nashville #watercolormap

Boats and blue umbrellas. Illustrated map making Day 17/100 #the100dayproject #mapmaking #illustratedmap #longislandbeaches #watercolormap #longislandbeaches #longisland #seasidetown #pointlookout #pointlookoutny

A map of Point Lookout isn’t complete without the pavilion. Felt like I was painting an alien ship (like War of the Worlds) when I was painting it. We may or may not have hung out there as teenagers. 🤣Illustrated map making Day 16/100 #the100dayproject #mapmaking #illustratedmap #longislandbeaches #watercolormap #longislandbeaches #longisland #seasidetown #pointlookout #pointlookoutny #thepavilion
