Garden Area at Grace Cathedral

A Small watercolor done in the garden and labyrinth area
of Grace Cathedral
in San Francisco.
I wasn't about to tackle the Cathedral itself in my little sketchbook - and that's just why I use a little sketchbook - so I won't have to tackle the big stuff.

I think I would like to live in that apartment on the right - the one with the fire escape across the window. Just the way the light was going through it. It was calling my name. But no one else was interested in living there with me, so . . .

It was a nice day to do China Town and walk UP THE HILL to the Cathedral.

I am working on a value sketch of this scene now. I may turn it into a "serious" painting.

The sun is shining off and on today, and the Bay is a beautiful dark blue. Very fall-like, moving into winter. That's okay - bring it on!

What a pleasure it was to watch your painting from beginning to almost the end. Anticipating the finished product. It was a great class. Thank you. Karen
