    A quick sketch of a fire engine in profile. Notes on colors ("red," "white," "yellow," etc.) as the truck was from another firehouse, loading equipment, and I knew I'd have to paint the ink sketch after it left.

    Quick urban watercolor sketch of a typical multi-unit late/mid-century apartment building done in watercolor and ink. At left is a stop sign on my side of the street. Under the drawing I've written/painted the words "14th & Irving 7•10•23" in big letters.

    The wheelhouse of the historic ferry Klamath at Pier 9 in San Francisco; several sketchers busy over their sketchbooks on the aft deck of the Klamath with the sun over the Bay Bridge and Yerba Buena Island behind them; two dozen sketchers gather inside the Klamath's wheelhouse to see open sketchbooks on the floor showing that day's work...

  6. North End Police Station, Greenwich St., San Francisxo

    Built in 1912 to maintain security during the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition nearby (of which the Palace of Fine Arts is a remainder), the North End Police Station was abandoned by the 1980s.

    The impressive Spanish Colonial Revival building became San Francisco Landmark #218 in 1996, and has been converted to private use as a residence and art studio.

    An imposing Spanish Colonial-style building with a phone pole in front of it. Some of San Francisco's bright green cherry-headed conures (parrots) sit on the phone wires above the scene.

    A turquoise 1968 Mercury Cougar and a red-orange 1934 Ford Coupe, both with polished mag wheels, are seen from behind in the parking lot on the Great Highway at Lincoln Way. A light pole divides the ocean horizon at the seawall beyond the cars.

    In this quick watercolor-and-ink sketch in my sketchbook, a streetlight stands in front of three low-rise apartment buildings, overhead wires crossing in ftont of a splatter of pale blue in San Francisco's Sunset District.
