Evidence below: this is More Hall, and it filled up the page too abundantly and got too busy, but I didn't have time to start over, so I went ahead and finished it anyway. Some tourists stopped by to admire it, so at least it pleased somebody.
I do like the tree on the right.
This second one is much more successful. I've been taking my watercolor paints out and about instead of using the watercolor pencils. I think I like this better than the pencils, though it is a bit trickier in terms of transport and set up. I'm working on streamlining that.
This is Mary Gates Hall:
I doubt I'll get any sketching done this coming weekend -- birding outing and party on Saturday, baseball game on Sunday. We shall see.
In other adventures, I got photos of birds on Saturday -- here are some young Pied-billed Grebes hanging out at Magnuson Park restoration ponds. Enjoy!
Mary Gates Hall actually looks old the way it's supposed to in your rendition; the UW should use some of your stuff in recruiting brochures. I like the story about the tourists; I bet you'll be featured as one of the most charming encounters of their visit to the campus when they tell of their trip back home. That sentence is a mess. Too early.
ReplyDeleteThe Tourists were a couple with their daughter, maybe age 10 or 11, and she loved to paint, and was quite excited to see my supplies, and they all admired the sketchbook as I flipped through to show them other pictures. Then they took a photo of the daughter with me in front of the building as I held up the sketch. All quite charming, really.
