Building in Dupont Circle was originally published on

100305dupontbuilding.jpg I spent part of Saturday drawing some of Dupont Circle's lovely old buildings. I think the majority of the building in the Circle are of the Federal Style, but I don't know that for sure. They all have terrific architectural details that are nice to draw. I'm still having some difficulty with perspective, but have been using a straight-edge to figure out the angle. While drawing I sat in a nice little park right next to the Q street entrance drinking a diet Vanilla Coke. Unfortunately, I have a habit of putting Coke bottles in my bag without not sealing the bottle top first and more than once I've had Coke all over the inside of my bag and everyhing in the bag including my sketchbook.

a beauty Trish!

hope nothing in the notebook was ruined, or at the least hoping any stain turns into a “happy accident’ of the artistic kind

I’ve been catching up on your posts. Another lovely work. Loved seeing your sketching equipment too :)

I think I recongize that one. Beautiful sketch.
