Painting and sketching about this time, this place
Ink and watercolor sketch of protesters outside the San Francisco Tesla dealership waving upside-down American flags and signs with the Monopoly banker image saying "Stop Thief!" and similar things. Also "Musk Must Go", "Elon is a Felon" and many more. Lots of red lights in the picture too.
Protest outside the Tesla dealership on Van Ness in San Francisco, April 12. It was a lively and energetic crowd.

To escape from politics for a little bit, here's a sketch from the windy parking lot on Bodega Head.
This one just used gray and black Posca markers, with watercolor carrying most of the painting. Still trying to figure out where those acrylic marker lines fit into my style.
I'll try to get up there on the last day and say hi. My class is next week, but I usually try to get up there a few days beforehand to do some scouting.

Another sketch from the "Hands Off" protest today. Looking at it now, I'm a little disturbed by that dark figure in the foreground. Even though it was a beautiful sunny day full of energetically protesting people, that sense of hulking menace is always at the edge of my mind these days.

he April 5 Hands Off protest filled San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza today. There were so many great signs, but I think the blurry "NO" was my favorite. (Just NO-O-O-O-O-O! is how I feel most of the time these days.)

A drawing from my day sketching with @ninaapplepine.bsky.social and @suhitasketch.bsky.social Suhita Shirodkar. This graceful tree/shrub was in the beautiful Gamble Garden in Palo Alto. I could have happily sketched there all day but had to leave before rush hour trapped me on the freeway home.

Protesters in front of Senator Schiff's office at One Post Street, San Francisco.
Protesters filling the street in front of Senator Padilla's office in Bush Street, San Francisco.
I went to the demonstrations on Wednesday in front of my Senators' San Francisco offices, asking them to hold the line against the worst of the craziness happening in Washington. Thank you Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla for stepping up to the fight. Thank you Indivisible SF for organizing.
