NW Station Way

I found this little corner of the Pearl District with interesting views in every direction. It's a quiet little space near the train station that I didn't know about.

I thought the structure on top of this condo was interesting. Many of the buildings in the area have rooftop gardens. I'd love to do some drawing from up on one of these rooftops.

Whenever I see an image of a tall building with a plane, I automatically get a weird feeling in my gut.

I tried to resist drawing this truck but I just couldn't do it.

  6. The first sketch looks a bit like a fantastic ocean liner--there is nothing static about a building to Bill Sharp! I know what you meant about the plane and the building. Especially in reference to the time of year. Great truck---three superb sketches!
