Georgetown Overpass

2015_07_12 I-5 ramp Georgetown Along with other Urban Sketchers, I wandered through the streets of Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood this weekend during their annual Garden Tour. I love gardens - I am a gardener. And yet, they rarely make it into my sketchbooks. I like big shapes, odd angles and strong shadows. So, when I walked under the I-5 overpass on Corson Ave, I abandoned the search for a garden for a view that had everything I like.

Georgetown Garden Walk

This tagged '56 Chevy looked perfectly at home amidst the backdrop of the Georgetown grit - freeway interchanges, industrial lots and historic brick buildings. After changing hands this classic found its way to the owner of Brass Tacks restaurant who keeps it running and showcases its character outside the restaurant where it sits parked in the lot opposite the spectacular.
