Cafe Regular du Nord

I must say, one of the nicest shop storefronts in the neighborhood. Ink and watercolor sketch on location, on a chilly Halloween afternoon. Please pardon my crudely drawn people, it's one of my weak spots!

Old First Reformed Church

Ink and watercolor sketch on location. The sun is getting lower and the shadows longer this time of the year. Some birds from my previous sketch migrated over.

Palma Chemists

Here's a sketch of a familiar corner on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. It is the entrance to Palma Chemists drugstore on the corner of 7th Avenue and Garfield Place. I enjoyed the nostalgia of the signage and the cantilevered 3-story bay window, with the brilliant blue September sky reflecting in the windows. The steeple to the old First Reformed Church is visible in the distance. Freehand ink and watercolor on location.

Prints of this piece are available in my ETSY shop. I also plan to make greeting cards of most of the watercolor pieces I've been doing recently, which will be on the shop too as they are ready.
 

Carroll Street between 6th and 7th Avenue

 

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

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.

Park Slope Flea Market II

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

Old First Reformed Church Buttress

The flying buttress gateway at the Old First Reformed Church, next door to La Bagel Delight on 7th Avenue.

55 7th Avenue

Warming up with a sketch of this charming 2-story Gothic building just adjacent to Ozzie's Coffee on 7th Avenue. Pleasant to sketch on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, with jazz coming from the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music across the street.

152 Berkeley Place

A 2-story Tudor style townhouse between two much taller buildings. Rustic bricks project irregularly from the facade.

Key Food and Old First Reformed Church

Corner of 7th Avenue and Garfield looking towards Key Food and the Church.

Park Slope Flea Market

Sitting in front of the Park Slope Flea Market  on 7th Avenue and First Street. Connecticut Muffin is visible diagonally across the street. A beautiful Sunday afternoon.

824 & 826 President Street

President Street near 7th Avenue, two buildings constructed to appear as one, sandwiched between typical Brownstones.

Carroll Street Color

Walking towards 7th Avenue on Carroll Street, on a Sunday afternoon in October. The previous post is a sketch of the buildings on the other side of Carroll, visible in the background here.

Park Slope Victorian Mansion

7th Avenue and Sterling Place. Park Slope, Brooklyn. This is a lovely victorian building with a cantilevered corner tower. It is across the street from the site of the 1960 plane crash.
