Sketching In The Fog

An ink and watercolor crayon sketch of three bare trees in front of a one-story building in the right of the frame. There is a portion of a mural of a monarch butterfly at the very righthand edge of the sketch. It’s been a stormy week in California, with floods in the Mojave region of Los Angeles County, 10 inches of rain in the mountains of Ventura County, and wind gusts of over 114 MPH doing major damage to the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton in Santa Clara County, the worst damage in its 140-year history. The weather was comparatively mild here in Davis, but we did get 2.26 inches of rain over the week.

It cleared last night here and got chilly, which set up conditions for a tule fog in the morning. I went sketching around 10 AM, coping with the chill by only drawing with ink outside and waiting until I returned home to color the sketch. This is the Davis School For Independent Study on B Street.
