During the dog walk, we determined it was too chilly to sketch outside. There were lovely views all along the promenade, but it felt like 45 degrees and there was a light breeze, and we were COLD.
So we made a note to come back on a warmer day. In the meantime, we sketched the view from inside the car instead. I found it interesting to see how two different artists approach the same subject. Here is my version:
And here is Tina's version:
Next we drove down a ways to the marina next door, where we parked to sketch the view from the car again. It was not as good a view as the previous one.
The statue is of Leif Erikson. I gave it a try:
Then I decided to do something utterly mundane just for fun -- I think this fire hydrant is my favorite sketch from the day:
On our way back, we stopped briefly at a garden decor shop on 85th -- it is full of wacky stuff, and as the sun was trying to break through the clouds and it had warmed a teensy bit, we got out and sketched some of the items very quickly.
This is definitely an area of Seattle that we'll return to on warmer days!
I thought it was cute that you wrote "That Place on 85th" on your drawing until I scrolled down and saw it was actually the name of the store LOL. I like the last picture best. Very colorful!
