Jack Block Park offers a stellar view of the shell oil rig. It is truly amazing how giant the structure is. From Alki Drive it often seems to dwarf the city skyscrapers behind it.

It was also quite interesting to see all the people who came out to see the oil rig from the Jack Block viewpoint. There were equal parts parents with little kids and disgruntled residents. It made for an odd contrast.

Seattle's King Street Station with Good Bones 2

Thanks to the Seattle Urban Sketchers for welcoming the Good Bones 2 USk workshop folks on Sunday morning.  It was so great to see the workshop group integrate what they learned into their own sketching, even those who had never sketched before were turning out amazing drawings!!!

I sat more or less dead center for this view, debating whether or not to put the sketchbook's seam in the middle of the space.  But the station is so classical and symmetrical, I decided to respect it's formality and center the image.  The station looked great, by the way, they did a wonderful job on the renovation.  The sketch looked a little washed out with the light pencil and low light in the station.

Quick Sketches on the way to Bainbridge Island

Had to catch the ferry to Bainbridge Wednesday morning.  We ran and missed it.  So I had 30 minutes to have breakfast and catch a sketch.  The first sketch was at Apassionato Cafe in the ferry terminal.
Second sketch was on the ferry just before we left the terminal.
