It has a further cluster of red-check-tablecloth<br />tables and mismatched wooden chairs."[...]<br /><p align="right">—Midnight in Spanish Gardens, out August 1, 2011</p></blockquote><br />cleaned-up sketch:<br /><img alt="Spanish Gardens interior with mismatched wooden chairs and red checked tablecloths and oil lanterns on the tables" width="620" height="438" src="http://aws.mikaspace.net/pics/sketchy/spanish-gardens-sketch-[04-18-2011].jpg" /><br />rough sketch:<br /><img alt="Spanish Gardens interior with mismatched wooden chairs and red checked tablecloths and oil lanterns on the tables" width="310" height="219" src="http://aws.mikaspace.net/pics/sketchy/spanish-gardens-sketch-[04-14-2011].jpg" /><br />This picture is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License,</a> and may be freely used under the terms of that license with a link back to <a href="http://www.mikaspace.net">mikaspace.net</a> Please see <a href="http://www.mikaspace.net/about.php#terms">terms of use</a> for details.<br /><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-nd/3.0/88x31.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"><input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="KS6S6UL8U9PR6"><input type="image" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/mikaspace/pics/tip-button.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-640-20110401-1/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"></form>Click to sponsor this sketch and support the artist! <br />Feedback and contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated :)<br /><br />Tips received: $5.00<br />linkbacks: 2<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=meeks&ditemid=2104" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
