Goorin Bros Hats

One of our favorite places to visit and sketch: Goorin Bros Hats on College Ave. Hats for big and small people, stylish, and everyday. They recently bought their own factory, after only 100 years or so!
Here are two versions of a sketch I did in the shop, the first one in the original sepia ink and the second one colorized electronically. Which one do you prefer?

I'm not sure, but think I like the sepia-only one best!

Great Clouds from Skyline Trail

I think we were looking towards Mt. Diablo. Please see Susan's sketch in the previous post.

"Where Hidden Creeks and Freeways Flow"

Under the overpass at 4th St. is a tribute to the past indigenous peoples who occupied a village site for "approximately 3,700 years" and a current homeless resident. The murals of  Native Americans are on  the back wall. The cross-beams are inscribed by the following:
WELCOME BACK
WHERE ANCIENT PEDESTRIANS
GATHERED OYSTERS AND ACORNS
WHERE TRACKS CROSS SHELLMOUNDS
WHERE HIDDEN CREEKS AND FREEWAYS FLOW
