Little Library, Lots of Shadows

6/30/15 inks, colored pencils

This is the same street in Shoreline where I’ve sketched multiple trees hacked down the middle. Today, though, something else caught my eye: a Little Free Library on the corner. I got out of the car to sketch it, but on closer inspection, it wasn’t very interesting – a plain “architectural” style, no embellishments or character. I backed off a little and crossed the street, and from there, I saw a more engaging view of the whole block. Even the very ordinary hedge behind the library was casting interesting shadows.
