Co-op Sketchcrawl
Thanks to the organization of Pete Scully, we’re back to doing monthly sketchcrawls in Davis. Today we sketched around and about the Davis Food Co-op, a good location, with plenty of shade and outdoor tables. On weekends the co-op sets up an outdoor grill for chicken and sausages on the spot; the first sketch at left shows the grillmaster (the red blob at upper left is the co-op’s iconic tomato sculpture).
Turning around the other way from my seat on the co-op patio, I painted the watermelons for sale (sketch at right).
At the back of the co-op is a railroad line with a couple of sidetracks. On one of these sidetracks is a set of a couple dozen train wheels and axles. I don’t know why these are stored here, but they are sketched below.
