Saturday evening we went to see the Cambrian Symphony's concert "Metamorphosis," featuring soloist Julio Elizalde playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3. I sketched some of the musicians as they warmed up while waiting for him to take the stage.



It was a treat to hear Elizalde. He was visibly tired after the performance -- not surprising, as the Rach 3 has been called the equivalent of K2 for pianists.

On Sunday, we took a day trip to Sacramento. I didn't have a chance to sketch in the city, but we did have a lovely lunch at Skool and went to the Crocker Museum for some inspiration. What a gem! I especially enjoyed the E. Charlton Fortune exhibit. It's there till April 22, so go see it.

On the way back, we took a meandering route along the Sacramento River. I sketched vignettes from the passenger seat while listening for updates on the Super Bowl score - #FlyEaglesFly.



I'm not much of a football fan, but I did enjoy the "Museum Bowl" on Twitter put on by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Did you follow it? Even the Franklin Institute and Boston's Museum of Science got into the act! Mad props to their marketing departments!
