Paying some old debts

In the past half a year I have become a more or less regular Saturday sketcher, but not really a blogger. In my attempt to post more regularly, I am starting with some old debts.

Grand Central

George Washington Bridge (view from Riverside Dr at 181 St)

Food Emporium (under the Queensborough Bridge)

La fete de la musique (at the Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn) 

I have also become more interested in watercolors recently, especially in working "loosely", with as little pencil as possible. I think the results do look loose, sometimes even looser than I would like. But I find it really enjoyable to let go of lines so this is something I will keep working on.

Chinatown (Mott and Bayard)

The Little Red Light house (under the George Washington Bridge)

Dyckman Farmhouse in Inwood

Church of Michael the Archangel in Cheboksary (the town in Russia where I grew up)

The sculpture of Pan on the campus of Columbia University
