Jazz at Lan Su Garden

A party in the evening at which I had hoped to watch the full moon reflected in the koi pond.  But, not only was it cloudy, but even raining.  Luckily the Chinese Garden has plenty of shelter.

Stream-lined Cars at PAM

Mary was out of town, but left an assignment for creating a totem pole out of separate pieces of art in the museum.  Or maybe doing one of the classic cars in the new exhibit, and then making a totem pole of your past rides.  That'd be a short stack for me.  63 years, and only three cars.  And only five bikes, I think.

To go with the car exhibit, people were gathering a bunch of classic motorcycles next to the museum.  So I started out doing one of those.

Then I moved inside and checked my bag and wandered through the exhibit of streamlined cars.  They looked vastly different from today's models.  Not so much aerodynamic as luxurious.  I stopped at one that had grillwork in the back that reminded me of a face.

And then at a huge motorcycle.  One so huge that you couldn't even see the wheels.  At least I assume that there were wheels underneath it.

Party

At New Relic, high up in Big Pink, which has great views looking down on the city.

N Interstate Sketchcrawl

I started out doing a large chunk of the Firehouse Community Center. from a bit of a distance behind it.

And then wandered around till I was near the front, and noticed one tiny plant clinging to a toehold on a window sill.

And finally, I tried a small chunk of the water tower behind the firehouse, blocking in the forms and shading.  But the sun kept wandering in and out of the clouds, and the shadows kept changing.
