Friday on Queen Ann

The Urban Sketchers Seattle Friday Ad Hoc group decided to hold a sketch outing on Independence Day.  We didn't know how many would be available to attend but there were 13 of us today!

I'd never been to this section of Queen Ann (gasp!).  Kerry Park has been on my want-to-sketch list for a while as it has a classic view of Seattle and the sound.  I left early so I could stop there prior to our meeting a few blocks away at the small Parsons Park.




After we met at Parsons Gardens   I did a bit of a walk about, looking for something that sparked my sketching interest.  I liked this old fashioned light post and the knarled tree next to it.



Next I sat on a bench in Marshal Park (across the street), talking with Gloria, while I sketched this view of the sound, a street bridge and the Olympic mountains beyond.


We gathered for sharing, as usual



and the group photo.




After, a few of us sat on a bench for lunch in Marshal Park, since we had to leave Parsons Garden due to it being reserved for a wedding.  Then 4 of us continued walking around and found more sketch venues.   This seeming bridge is actually the support for the sidewalk above.
