Urban Sketchers outing – Golden Gardens Park – 2 August 2023
https://seattle.urbansketchers.org/
Life things seem to regularly conspire to interfere with me joining the Urban Sketchers more often. Proximity of this locale to my home made it irresistible; it is our favored place for sea-level walks, and on warm sunny days I do go swimming there. The low tide on this date bumped the visual appeal, as if it needed it. I had earlier received a set of pencils from a friend, they belonged to her father, and are likely vintage 1930’s or 1940’s. This was a good opportunity to give ’em a road test. Something about what gets washed up on a beach inspires people (not always kids!) to gather and arrange items into what could legitimately be called “installations”; always ephemeral, I was fortunate to happen upon a goodie! Former colleague Jerry Powell was an esteemed Professor of Entomology at University of California, Berkeley.
