Day 151 "Bottom of Beacon" pen&ink 6x9

Last weekend I was in Boston briefly.  I was a little early so had a few minutes to hang in the car and draw.  I began this drawing of the beautiful row of buildings where Beacon Street intersects Charles street.  I drew from the car.  I often being by defining the space with the skyline of the buildings, thinking about the negative space as the composition grows.  Here is my start, and above, the completed drawing.  What is that little green truffula tree doing on my dashboard, you might ask?  Years ago, we went to a friend's wedding and the tables were designated with these cute little trees.  For some reason, we took ours, and attached it to the dashboard where it has stayed all these years.  
This is my hundred fifty-first daily drawing.  Thank you, as always, for looking.  

Day 132 "DeLuca's in the Rain" 4 x 9 pen & ink

Charles Street in Boston has so many lovely facades.  This is Deluca's Market, open since 1905, great produce, sandwiches, old-time feel, and wonderful window along this beautiful street.  
This is my hundred thirty-second daily drawing.  I appreciate you're looking.  

Day 95 "Along Charles Street" 6 x 9 mixed

Charles Street, Boston, has an interesting group of shops, doorways, windows and is a fun stroll on an afternoon.  This doorway caught my eye with its grandeur and strong shadow pattern.  This is my ninety-fifth daily drawing.  Thank you for looking.

Charles and Mount Vernon Streets - pen & ink

This afternoon, we headed into Boston to do nothing more than people watch, drink coffee, walk around the city and enjoy the beautiful, dry, crisp summer air.  
So we did.  We wound up sitting on Charles Street at a nice little coffee shop.  Great coffee, pastry, sweet and savory. 

On the walk through the Public Garden, we passed the bench from "Good Will Hunting", now a shrine to Robin Williams.   The sidewalks in all directions are covered with chalk tributes to him.  

What a lovely afternoon.
