The October gatherings of Urban Sketchers Seattle the past two years have been at pumpkin
farms – Craven Farm last year (which
was really cold) and Fall City Farm
(which was rainy) the year before. This year we broke from tradition and met in
the Capitol Hill neighborhood near Seattle Central Community College, and someone must have danced the right sun
dance, because we got summer – 70
degrees and a nearly cloudless sky!

From the corner of Broadway and Pine, red and yellow cranes caught
my eye. I could see no less than four, but I could fit only three into my composition.
At the Broadway Farmers Market, I captured a busker singing
in the bright sunshine, but not before wandering slowly through the colorful
produce and flower stalls, wishing summer were just starting.
In the last 15 minutes before our meet-up time, I sketched a
line of trees growing on the SCCC campus grounds. Actually, what first caught
my attention was the very top of the Space Needle hovering over a rooftop like
a spaceship.
Rain is predicted for the rest of the week, and I can already
see clouds gathering on the horizon, so today was a special treat right before we
all get out our Polartecs and parkas for good.

Nice sketches! Looks like a beautiful day to be outside sketching. I thought of you when we were in NYC on Saturday for the World Wide SketchCrawl and there were all these cranes that needed to be sketched. lol When I finish posting from my trip (which should take a few more days) I'll catch up on the sketches I've done since I'm home.
