stout brothers, santa rosa

For one reason or other, not been easy for me to sketch lately, but I found myself in downtown Santa Rosa on Saturday afternoon, doing a little shopping, a little reading, and I stopped into the Stout Brothers pub to do a little writing, and perhaps a little drawing. I had a couple of beers and a big glass of water (I’m trying to drink more water these days), and drew the bar. I really did need a wee, but didn’t want anyone to nick my seat, and lose me my vantagepoint. So I held on until I finished. I’m sure you don’t need to know that, but hey, these are the realities of being a modern urban sketcher.

    Lovely sketch Pete. I like the color choices. It looks warm and cozy in there, which is quite inviting since it’s just down the street from me today, and the weather outside is a delightful grey. Thanks for the inspiration!

    cheers! it was always going to happen, with beer and water. I need to go before I sit down. It was pretty cozy too; I like nice wooden exteriors in a pub, though there are better beers elsewhere (I’m not a guinness drinker).

    Love the sketch Pete. But yes. I drink a lot of tea, and this has consequences too.
