Miscellaneous Favorite Shots from Our Recent Trip

EPCOT in January

Week before last, hubby and I spent the week in Orlando at a conference. So, of course we had to give a little time to the main mouse! The crowds were so low that we wished we had two weeks and the whole family with us. The fantastic temperatures didn't hurt either. Once again, I roamed World Showcase with my camera collecting images to draw. Now, I just have to get busy doing the drawing!

It's that busy time of year...

and I have been working on commissioned artwork steadily since Thanksgiving. But, I had to come and do a little reminiscing from our Disney trip in September. I haven't had a chance to do any Disney artwork lately since I am working on commissions. So, I am going to share some more photos from our recent trip. This was one of my favorite discoveries of the trip... some of the original concept art and models for EPCOT.

Magical Architecture

As you may be able to tell from my artwork, I have an affinity for architecture and particularly Disney architecture. Here are some shots I took on my last trip as references for potential drawings.

This terrific find... an EPCOT mini-museum displaying all the original plans for each pavilion with samples of some of the original costumes and a wonderful short video playing the "We're gettin' ready for you..." opening theme music.
