Here’s another from San Francisco. After sketching the Balclutha, I stood on the corner of Beach and Larkin to sketch the sloping view up to Ghirardelli Square. You’ll know Ghirardelli as a famous chocolatier, and they do make really nice choccies. I even treated myself to a delicious hot fudge brownie sundae after this drawing, setting me back a cool $10 but ermagerd, it was good, so good. This place is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. I coloured this in later – I had stood there long enough, and there were plenty more things to draw. I also added a map into my sketchbook showing the locations of my sketches so far – there it is below. You will see a lot more of these maps from now on, as I have decided to paint little maps accompanying my pages. Let’s see how long that idea lasts. anyway, I do have more San Francisco sketches to come, I have just been very lazy with the scanner…
high time for chocolate

I really like your maps! Good idea.
cheers! i’m enjoying making them. Some are not so good…
There’s an amazing amount of detail in this. Love it! Glad the choccis were good.
Thanks Sue! Yes, great choccie but very filling…
Dreamt up from St Pancras and British Library? Then there’s ‘Who let the hogs out’ – clearly Burnt Oak! & did you know Lord Moser’s 91?
I miss Burnt Oak right now. California’s nice, but a game of football down Watling Park…
