My day so far
We biked out to the beach through the park, had breakfast. I put up the rest of the sketches from yesterday’s drawing group. Then I did a few fast still life sketches (next post?) Walked through the panhandle then up he hill to Haight, then along past Ashbury till I found this café: Rocking Java I like it. Yelp.
And here is a sketch from the chairs in front of me. One of the eight still lifes I did today.

After a morning at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park (of which more later) I went to the Hayes Valley and sketched in a couple of cafes. This was in Café La Vie, nice!
