CAUGHT-UP IN RED HOOK

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON Urban Sketchers,TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2009

Inspired by Stephen Gardner's masterful sketch of the same building, I made my way over to Red Hook yesterday to try my hand at this Brooklyn icon.

I may have to try again. Too caught-up in the details, I failed to capture this eccentric old lady. Hat's off to S.G.

On a side note; a friend sent me this link to a collection of travel sketches by John Fischetti. Fischetti was an illustrator for Esquire and the Chicago Sun Times, among others. I enjoyed seeing them. Hope you do too.
