"Above Congress" 9 x 6 ink & pastel #dailydrawing #urbansketchers

Tonight, I picked up our daughter at her works space, and she gave me a tour.  The conference room overlooks Congress Street as it exits the city.  Here's a sketch of the street from the window closest to her desk.  I created a black background, then overlaid with pencil and pastel.  I'm a pastel neophyte so finding the right color and value is an interesting exploration.  I liked the bank of lights receding into the distance on this early November evening.  The city is beautiful at night, shifting, alluring.  I love it.
This is my 41st drawing in my daily drawing challenge.  Thank you for looking, as always.
