10/21/12 Platinum Carbon ink, watercolor, Stillman & Birn sketchbook |
My outdoor thermometer read 44 degrees when I left the house
this morning to meet other Seattle Urban Sketchers in the Columbia City
neighborhood. One of the things I value most about being an Urban Sketcher
(aside from meeting fun people) is that I get acquainted with neighborhoods I’m not familiar with, despite being a lifelong Seattle resident. (My unfamiliarity with this neighborhood is especially surprising because Columbia City is only a couple miles from my high school.)
Even with fingerless gloves on, it was chilly, but Columbia
City is hospitable to sketchers with several benches and small tables on the sidewalks.
I spotted a bench across the street from an old clock that caught my eye at the
corner of Rainier Avenue South and South Ferdinand Street.
