Carroll Street between 6th and 7th Avenue

 

Looking up Carroll Street towards 7th Avenue. Friendly neighbors offered me a beer.

St Francis Xavier Tower

I am still working my way around this elaborate cathedral. In the rear yard is a square based tower that tapers slightly as it rises. The various intersections of the buildings make for a nice massing study. Silhouetted to the right is the Berkeley Carroll School building.

All Saints Episcopal Church

At the corner of 7th Avenue and 7th Street, constructed in 1893. I sketched this from across 7th Avenue, in front of the Hospital, where town cars and ambulances are constantly jockeying for position at curbside. A few of the drivers took interest in my sketching and had kind words.

Saint Francis Xavier Church

A quick sketch of Saint Francis Xavier Church at 6th Avenue and Carroll Street.

Park Slope Flea Market II

On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, the Park Slope Flea Market seemed like a natural choice for a sketch.

Litchfield Villa in Prospect Park

Sketched sitting on the low wall between Prospect Park West and the Park.
