San Francisco

8/31/15 Golden Gate Bridge

9/1/15 Ferry Building

My niece’s wedding in Half Moon Bay took us to the Bay Area last week. After the wedding and family festivities, Greg and I drove into San Francisco for a few days of city fun. A highlight of our trip was meeting up with a small group from Urban Sketchers San Francisco Bay Area. After I contacted Cathy McAuliffe, whose sketches I have enjoyed for a long time on Flickr, she kindly organized an ad hoc group to meet me for a morning of sketching at the Ferry Building Marketplace. I’m always delighted and amazed when the worldwide Urban Sketchers network makes it so easy to contact other sketchers wherever I go!

Here are a few of my favorite sketches from San Francisco. For more, please see my personal blog or my Flickr album.
