sketching in fredericksburg

micron pen, colored pencils, 45 min

  It is finally warm enough to get out and do some sketching around Fredericksburg.  I did this sitting in front of Castiglias snacking on yummy bread and anchovies.  They were great- not like the salty little ones you get in tins.  They put a light lemon sauce on them.  
     The building has the Olde Town Butcher and the Poppy Hill restaurant located inside.  It was originally the Planter Hotel built before the Civil War, in fact, Abraham Lincoln slept there Dec. 18, 1860.
