Bridge sketching & William Temple House

Fremont Bridge from NW 12th and Overton

A beginning panoramic drawing...to be completed on another day

Last Wednesday I set out to do some sketches of bridges. I had some idea of doing the 405 overpass but that didn't pan out....there just didn't seem to be the right view that I was looking for. Another day perhaps? I ended up doing several views of the Fremont Bridge and this one was the best of the bunch.
I really liked the area around NW 15th and under the overpass so I started this panoramic drawing that I intend to continue on another day. Next week is looking pretty good....maybe?

With the rest of the group that gathered on Saturday I got this view of the William Temple house. It really is a very complex structure with lots of texture and detail. Another view from across NW Hoyt was started but had to be aborted because of the rain....I would like to return sometime to finish it though.

Scavenger Hunt: Elephant's Deli

Did you know that there was a branch of the Elephant's Deli in the Portland Airport? I didn't realize this until I found myself waiting for a friend whose flight was delayed for an hour.

I had forgotten to bring my sketchbook, but luckily I did have some sketching pens with me...and the back of a paper bag works wonders to sketch on in a pinch! Delicious sandwich, here immortalized.
