Nuclear Science and History

Hello Sketchers

Another great location, the Museum of Nuclear Science and History was just full of exciting, thought provoking, sketching opportunities and the sketchers took full advantage of them.

We also want to say a big Welcome to those returning sketchers, new sketchers and those of you who were just visiting and sketching with us. It was so nice to see all the new faces.

Here are the photos of all the great work.

ANNUAL LUNCH

“WOW” the annual lunch went off without a hitch. Thanks to all those who came and a special thanks to Donna Williams for putting it together. The food and service were great at the Standard Diner in Albuquerque.

Donna announced the winner and the runners up for the “Albuquerque Urban Sketchers Stamp” contest as she handed out certificates to each. The winner was Martha Calhoun with special thanks to April Rentzsch, Ryan Franchak, and Constance Smith. It truly was a challenge to choose the winner.

Many of those that attended the luncheon started sketching before the food was even ordered and several of them finished after eating. It was great to see so many people sketching and sharing good conversation with the group. Here are a few photos of the attendees and we hope to see you all at the luncheon next year
