Pickles from the park

 We met at Coulon park today in Renton. It's a beautiful, huge, park on the shore of the southern end of Lake Washington. Lots of sketchers drew "Interface", the group of three statues that are dressed up by some volunteers! I've drawn them for years so I looked elsewhere.

It always amuses me that the Museum of Flight docents refer to Boeing aircraft under production as "pickles". They are just the fuselages without wings and are covered in a protective green film. I drew them from a distance. They are parked outside one of the Boeing factory areas in Renton.

Then I tackled the perspective nightmare that is the big structure on the plaza covering dozens of tables. Draw in ink with a fude pen for line variation.

Sharing sketches during throw down. Then some of us had lunch together.

On the way home I saw one of my favorite Renton sights: "planes on a train"! More pickles. So I stopped to sketch, them, too.
