A while back when I was walking along the Ship Canal in the
Fremont neighborhood, I came upon a memorial to Sri Chinmoy, an Indian
spiritual master and founder of the World Harmony Run. A plaque at the foot
of the memorial, called “Dreamer of World Peace,” includes a poem by Chinmoy
and the words “Fremont – Center of the Universe for World Harmony.”
I didn’t have time to sketch the memorial then, but I made
note of it. This week’s Urban Sketchers Flickr group theme is “Dreams of a Better Society,” so I thought it was the appropriate time to go back to the
Ship Canal and sketch the statue. It was dedicated on Nov. 7, 2010, three years
after his death.
Good job on the statue!!! I like your choice of ink for this and the nautical details in the background. Well done!
