Last weekend I joined the SF Sketchers in Golden Gate Park to sketch the
Rhoderdendrens that are in full bloom. BUT I realized we ere right next to Spreckles Lake and there were people sailing their model sailboats and their radio controlled power boats! No contest for me, the rhodys took a back seat that day though I did get one sketch of the spectacular blooms done!
The San Francisco Model Yacht Club is devoted to the building and sailing of model yachts, both
power and sail. Spreckels Lake and the San Francisco Model Yacht Club are special
parts of the city's long and colorful maritime history. Established in
1898, the club is believed to be the oldest such organization in the
United States. – Cathy McAuliffe
What a wonderful opportunity! Great sketches!
ReplyDeleteYou capture so much with so little line and color. I'm always amazed! Thanks for the tip about the model yachts. I would love to sketch them some time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. The place was a great "discovery". Their website lists there events. I may need to return for a regatta!
