This old tavern, built in 1905, is in the industrial part of town and has quite a checkered past. It is two blocks from a huge rail yard, and used to be frequented by very tough characters indeed but is now owned by
McMenamins and has been beautifully restored. We spent a fun morning sketching the building, then headed inside to pass around our sketch books and get a bite to eat. Portland, OR, USA
Nice one Janene. I like this view, with the garden and ivy softening the building.
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice. Such a clean look you gave it.
ReplyDeleteI guess you would have to pay close attention to the plants with your garden designing skills. You do such a good job of editing out the extraneous stuff. You do great job with light and shadow - I like the high key treatment.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bill and Vicky!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, How true-I do tend to zero in on the plants. Adding shadows was tricky since the front was totally in shade, as you well know. Thanks for your comments.
