This is a lunchtime sketch from downtown Davis, sat in the shade on 2nd Street near D Street. The unusual sculpture in front of me, looking like a tiny version of Gormley’s Angel of the North but up on an iron girder, is ‘Great Angel’ by Cedric Wentworth, 2012. We like a bit of public art in Davis. The little brown leaf across the street is called “Untitled (Spicebush Leaf)” by Gilbert Menke, 2006. You can find a map showing all the public art in Davis at the City of Davis website. A city needs art, and artists. Incidentally we will be doing another Let’s Draw Davis this Saturday at 10am meeting up outside the Bicycling Hall of Fame, finishing up in the same place at 12pm, which I realized after arranging it is the same time the Champions League final starts (so I’ll miss the kick off). Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund. Should be good.

By the way WordPress, sort out this crap editor. When I try to paste something such as a bit of text or a link, it takes that as a cue to erase the rest of the post. Stop messing about with the post editing tools!
