Today Portland's Urban Sketchers sketched in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. We met at
The Hof, which is a "symbiotic companion" to the Goose Hollow Inn. It was a very friendly place with excellent hosts and tasty food. There were lots of interesting decorative objects (old toasters, egg beaters, and more) that will be fun to draw sometime when the weather isn't as nice at it was today. Today, there seemed to be lots of neighborhood regulars, as well as a mayoral candidate meeting upstairs.
A block away, I sat outside of a little park and drew this Victorian...
and later I drew this florist shop that is full of autumnal offerings. I'm not happy with the crosshatching that I did, but there's no going back when you use ink.
It was a beautiful day to be out sketching and it was fun to be with the group. I'll definitely be going back to this neighborhood, and the Hof again.

Have not been to that part of town in ages. Amazing how you can live in Portland and not see all its treasures. Have to get out while it's still sunny.
Helen, if you go there, you might like to walk up near the Aliance Francais ( Goose Hollow MAX stop). There's a zigzag staircase and good views or the Vista Bridge, both things that you could enhance with your photography.
Thanks for stopping by.
I just love this sketch! I think it might be because of the palette. Anyway it's charming.
Thank you, Heather. I'm looking forward to sketching with you again soon.
