February 4, 2009 – In Sarasota and Venice!

Sandra and I headed south to do some professional snooping around Sarasota County. We first met with a part of the visitors bureau there, Erin Duggan, who took us out for a dynamite lunch at Barnacle Bills on Main Street. It’s been in Downtown Sarasota for a long time. To the left is a sketch of decorations in Barnacle Bills.
Afterward, we perused the developing historical museum in the art deco building that also holds the visitors center.
Later we made our way into Venice. Dinner was at another outstanding restaurant, Valenti’s. It’s a true italian restaurant. Below is a customer I sketched while there.

Hi, Rob! I love all your sketches especially the armadillos! They are too cute! How is project X? Best always, Chris Browne
