Seward Park Poplars

 

8/18/24 Seward Park

After an errand nearby last week, I made a quick stop at Seward Park on the south end of Lake Washington. I thought it might be too early for color, and I didn’t see much. I love this stand of poplars, though, on the lakeshore. I remembered well the last time I had sketched them years ago, also in September. It was during Kathleen Moore’s nature drawing class.

Back in 2018, I had taken most of the whole class to draw with leisurely graphite. Last Wednesday I was short on time, so I took only a few minutes, but the rhythm of these trees still makes a naturally pleasing composition.

  1. Lovely, especially with the addition of the guy feeding the birds. Great use of the white.

    1. Glad you recognized the birds! They got a little abstract! ;-)
