Reservoir Tavern and Other Walk-Sketches

4/2/25 Reservoir Tavern, Maple Leaf neighborhood

Although sporadic rainy days continue, it’s getting easier to take daily fitness walks as the temperature becomes more hospitable. On one of the sunnier days, I took a bit longer than I usually do to sketch a linden tree and the Reservoir Tavern (known colloquially by neighbors as “the Rez”), right next door to Macrina Bakery. Although I’ve never been inside this long-time Maple Leaf institution, I’ve been meaning to sketch it for a long time. Maybe on a warmer day this summer, I'll come back to make a more leisurely portrait.

My barber is in the Wedgwood neighborhood, so as the weather improves, I’m looking forward to taking more fitness walks in that area after getting haircuts. Just like sketching, I am constantly looking for opportunities to combine fitness walking with anything else I already have to do. I guess that makes me a lifestyle fitness walker, just like I’m a lifestyle urban sketcher.

  1. I love that you can incorporate fitness walking with other things that need to be done. I like the combination of the gray and the dark ink in the first sketch of the Rez and the tree.
