On Sunday, the last day of August, I caught the bus to Sacramento and walked around in the breezy sunlight, walking up to midtown, sketching a couple of things as I’ve not done here for a good while now, not since the sketchcrawl in March. Above, powerlines and some buildings and trees (for a change, eh), while below there is an old building I’ve wanted to draw for a while, the one next to the Streets of London pub on J street. Well now I have.


It’s a gorgeous building Pete, I can see why it appealed to you. You did a great job with it!
Pete: do you know the book A Field Guide to American Houses? Lots of great stuff in there… I think you’d like it, with your eye for detail and the slightly wonky features of older houses.
